Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of Ghana, intensifies his campaign efforts today as he continues to interact with delegates in the Eastern Region in a bid to secure their support to become the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the upcoming 2024 elections.
On the second day of his campaign tour, Dr. Bawumia focused his attention on the Asuogyaman, Lower Manya Krobo, Upper Manya Krobo, New Juaben North, and New Juaben South Constituencies. Amidst a spirited atmosphere, the Vice President engages with party delegates, highlighting his vision and plans for the NPP’s future and the nation as a whole.
Dr. Bawumia’s primary objective during these interactions was to win the hearts and votes of the delegates, who hold significant influence in the NPP’s internal selection process.
By establishing a personal connection and articulating his plans to propel the party forward, he aims at positioning himself as the favored candidate for the party’s flagbearer position.
During his engagements, Dr. Bawumia has been emphasizing the need for unity within the NPP and stressed that the party must remain committed to its core values of good governance, strong economic policies, and social development.
He highlighted his experience as Vice President and his contribution to the successful implementation of various policies during his tenure.
The Vice President also promised to prioritize the concerns and aspirations of the Eastern Region if elected as the NPP’s flagbearer.
He pledged to work towards the region’s development, including infrastructure improvements, job creation, and enhanced access to quality education and healthcare.
The campaign event has always drew a significant crowd, with party members, grassroots supporters, and enthusiastic residents gathering to hear Dr. Bawumia’s message. Delegates expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to engage directly with the potential flagbearer and conveyed their expectations for a vibrant campaign leading up to the internal party elections.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour in the Eastern Region is part of a broader strategy to connect with party faithful across Ghana and solidify his position within the NPP. As the race for the party’s flagbearer position intensifies, the coming months will witness heightened political activity as candidates vie for support ahead of the 2024 general elections.
The NPP is currently in power, and the selection of its flagbearer will play a crucial role in determining the party’s direction and prospects for the upcoming elections. With Dr. Bawumia’s extensive political experience and his efforts to engage with delegates on a personal level, he appears determined to position himself as the frontrunner in the race for the NPP’s flagbearer position.
