Pro-NPP X accounts spread hate and false claims targeted at NDC’s John Mahama

Claim: Pro-NPP X accounts spread hate and  false claims targeted at NDC’s John Mahama

Source: X (formerly Twitter)

Verdict: False

Explanation:

On X (formerly Twitter), a coordinated network of accounts is driving hashtags such as:  

#IncompetentMahama  

#FailedMahama  

#1TouchForBawumia  

#BawumiaForPresident  

These accounts are spreading harmful disinformation targeting John Dramani Mahama, the Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). For example, the lead account at the centre of this campaign, Kwaku Brown (@kwakubrownies), alleged that Martin Amidu accused John Mahama of being “the father of all corruption” in the Airbus scandal. In another instance, the account claimed that Mahama sold his Dubai hotels to a former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources. Both claims have been fact-checked by the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition and found false (see here and here).  

We continue monitoring these hashtags for harmful content related to the elections.
