In a video making rounds on social media, the yet-to-be-identified Ghanaian man took a bold stand, switching allegiances from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The man claimed he purchased five litres of petrol for GH₵40. He asserted that this was a significant change and a welcome development from his previous experience, when the same amount of petrol would have cost him GH₵50 for less.
Man switches party allegiance over petrol price
In the video, his face was filled with excitement as he expressed joy over the fact that he was now reportedly receiving more petrol for less money.
He said:
“See, I bought this petrol for GH₵40. Then I used GH₵50 to buy this petrol, and it isn’t even up to these litres.”
Showing how grateful and excited he was, he immediately went on his knees in front of a car. He also praised President John Mahama.

The man also openly acknowledged the NDC’s leadership, remarking that the policies introduced under Mahama’s administration had a positive impact on ordinary Ghanaians.
This heartwarming moment happened just before the reading of the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review.

“Why do we feel these politicians are doing magic with our lives? Isn’t it their mandate to make sure things are in the right place? Why praise him for doing the bare minimum? Oh Ghana.
