I was not sleeping – The photos you see are AI, generated by my enemies – Baba Jamal dismisses viral images

The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, Baba Jamal, has dismissed viral photos circulating online that appear to show him sleeping shortly after his swearing-in on March 10, 2026.

Speaking on Okay FM, the MP said the images are manipulated and do not reflect what actually happened in Parliament.

“There are several of the photos going around. One even shows me with my mouth wide open. These are AI-generated photos,” he said.

Baba Jamal suggested the images were shared to tarnish his reputation following what he described as an important moment in his political career.

“People would always want to dent every beautiful thing when it happens,” he added.

The photos began circulating shortly after the swearing-in ceremony and quickly attracted mixed reactions online.

Baba Jamal, a former Ghana High Commissioner to Nigeria, won the Ayawaso East seat on March 3, 2026, securing 10,884 votes to defeat the NPP’s Yussif Ali Baba, who polled 4,009 votes.
