Accra floods leave opposition campaign director homeless as waters breach homes

Heavy rains triggered severe flooding across Accra and seven surrounding regions in Ghana, displacing nearly 90,000 people, causing at least 34 deaths and extensive property loss.

Dennis Miracles Aboagye, communications director for Mahamudu Bawumia’s 2028 presidential campaign, testified that floodwaters broke through his house’s main gate and completely emptied his home, destroying furniture, clothing, electronics and documents. He said, "I lost everything, and I have nothing in my house. The house is empty, and we need to start everything again."

The National Disaster Management Organisation, together with the Ghana Armed Forces, National Fire Service and Police, carried out rescue operations, assessed damage and began distributing relief items to affected communities.
