She emphasised the NPP’s proven track record and vision to transform Ghana.
Abena Osei-Asare further praised Dr Bawumia’s achievements as Vice President, including the digitalization of the country, the introduction of a medical drone delivery system, and the digitization of the National Health Insurance Authority’s operations.
She assured that Dr. Bawumia’s vision would bring transformation to Ghana if elected.
She appealed to constituents to vote massively for her and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the forthcoming general elections to enable the party to continue improving Ghana’s development agenda.
The MP also commended the contractor for their commitment and enthusiasm, noting that the astroturf would boost economic activities, identify talents, and make players competitive internationally.
