Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie
FORMER VICE President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has been described as a unifier, who has what it takes to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win power again in 2028.
Coordinator for Dr. Bawumia’s Campaign, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriye, making the remarks said the NPP urgently needs a candidate who can unify the party to lead them to victory in 2028.
He said naturally, people will be disappointed after a party had lost political power, stressing that it takes a person who can unify the party to lead in these moments.
“With the issues we’ve identified as the cause of our defeat, I believe strongly that Dr. Bawumia is the best person to unify and lead the party.
“These include the apathy we suffered nationwide, which is one of the main reasons that we lost political power in 2024”, Dr. Ayew Afriyie, who is the MP for Effiduase Asokore, said.
He vehemently debunked assertions that the party lost the 2024 polls solely because of Dr. Bawumia, stating that every truthful person knows that the blame on Dr. Bawumia is not fair.
Aside apathy, he said, some policies of the government such as the introduction of the E-levy (Electronic Transfer Levy) and imposition of taxes on betting and others, did not help.
Dr. Ayew Afriyie stated that “Every NPP delegate knows why we lost the 2024 elections,” reiterating that it is totally wrong for any person to blame Dr. Bawumia for the election defeat.
Addressing party delegates in Asokwa when former Second Lady, Samira Bawumia visited the area to campaign, he said Dr. Bawumia will surely return NPP back to power in 2028.
Dr. Ayew Afriyie called for hard work and unity among NPP members, noting that the NPP, with Dr. Bawumia, who is popular as flagbearer, can win political power in 2028.
