The Member of Parliament (MP) for Takoradi Constituency, Kobby Okyere Darko-Mensah, has emphasized that under no circumstance will the delegates of his constituency elect another aspirant to lead the NPP when the Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is in the race.
Delivering a speech during the visit of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the Takoradi Constituency, Hon. Kobby Okyere Darko-Mensah minced no words as he sent a clear message that the delegates would not settle for less.
“Those of us on the ground and working with the grassroots know that Dr Bawumia is the one who has cared about us all these years. We will not exchange him for anyone” he stated.
He also indicated that several other factors have accounted for their choice of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the party’s candidate for the 2024 elections, which include his competence, humility, integrity, incorruptibility, etc.
The Takoradi MP also mentioned that Dr. Bawumia is someone one can easily reason with, and that is a factor that endears the Vice President to many of the party’s members.
“Dr. Bawumia is someone we can reason with, Dr. Bawumia is humble so I am urging you, he knows the power of power, the power of using power to raise people up, the power of power to make sure that Ghana would be better”
The Vice President began his campaign tour of the Western Region on Sunday, July 23, 2023, where he met delegates of Takoradi and Effia Constituencies.
