In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, Dr Bawumia, accompanied by senior members of his campaign team and the opposition New Patriotic Party, described the tragedy as "heart-wrenching." Earlier, in a social media post, he said he personally knew some of the deceased and lamented their "horrid" demise. "Samira, I, the Bawumia family, and the NPP join the nation in mourning them.
May the Lord grant the bereaved families and the nation strength in this time of tragedy," he wrote.
