Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
The Association of Constituency Chairmen in the Ashanti Region has said that its members will support Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Saturday.
“We, Association of Constituency Chairmen, acting on the thunderous widespread demand by the grassroots and polling station executives in our various constituencies to vote for their choice in the upcoming Super Delegates Conference, are making this public statement that we are ready to heed to this call from our party people,” the group said in a statement released yesterday.
The statement continued, “Dr. Bawumia is clearly the choice of the grassroots. No one can deny that fact.”
The statement claimed that they, the constituency chairmen, had discussed this subject in particular and had come to the definite conclusion that the grassroots and the polling station executives are correct.
“We are, therefore, seizing this moment to unanimously express our agreement to this call. We will also urge and entreat all the Constituency Chairmen to heed to the call from the grassroots and polling station executives and vote for Dr. Bawumia in their numbers,” the statement noted.
They explained that this was because of the fact that the Ashanti NPP delegates do not vote along ethnic lines, making it the perfect time for them as the Ashanti Region to make history and settle the score in Ghanaians’ minds.
“We believe one day somehow, it will be the turn of one of ours, and we will all join to push that person. This is not tribalistic. This is objective. One of ours someday will get our push, but for now, it is not our turn. This project is simply making Ashanti Greater in NPP,” the group said.
