During his two-day campaign tour of the Bono East Region, Alhaji Dr. Mahumudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, appealed to regional delegates to support his bid to lead the party in the 2024 elections.
Dr. Bawumia is competing with three other candidates, including Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, former Minister of Food and Agriculture, and Engineer Francis Addai Nimoh, a former MP for Asante Mampong.
Dr. Bawumia expressed confidence in his ability to lead the party to victory in the upcoming elections, citing his track record of formulating and implementing effective socio-economic policies.
He also highlighted his belief that his candidacy had been ordained by God, who had used him in many ways to help address the country’s development challenges.
Dr. Bawumia promised to introduce key policies that would keep the Government and the Party in a close relationship to address the challenge of people helping the Party to win political power but being sidelined while the Party is in government.
He cited among those policies, the allocation of appointments’ quota to Party members in the constituencies and the regions so they work in government. Those appointees to serve as “God Fathers” to the constituencies and the regions to create a good and workable relationship between the Party and government at all levels.
According to Dr. Bawumia, he was the most experienced and marketable person to lead the NPP to victory, hence the delegates must consider him as the best option for the Party in the upcoming election.
Accompanied by Mr. Fred Oware, Dr. Awudu Rauf, Mr Anthony Karbo and other campaign team members, the Vice President received a rousing welcome by delegates and other Party followers in all the constituencies he visited.
