Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia responding to cheers from the crowd
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was literally held spellbound yesterday morning when he arrived in Kpassa in the Nkwanta North Constituency of the Oti Region.
He had travelled from Kete Krachi in the Krachi East Constituency where he campaigned the previous day to Kpassa to also campaign.
But even before Bawumia, who is the presidential candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7 polls, could get to Kpassa, the people were waiting for him and members of his campaign team at the Damongo Bridge to usher him into the town.
The people, most of whom were on motorbikes and on top of cars, left Bawumia with a wow effect, leading the convoy to Kpassa.
Everywhere he went – from the commissioning of the office of the Kpassa District Assembly to churches, stakeholder engagements and ‘Youth Connect’, the youth of the area followed him with their motorbikes amidst chants of ‘It is Possible’.
At a well-attended ‘Youth Connect’ rally at the Kpassa Yam Park, an overwhelmed Dr. Bawumia could not help but exclaim “Wow wow wow!” whilst asking rhetorically, “Is this Nkwanta North?” whilst noting with emphasis, “I can’t believe what I’m seeing!”
The NPP flagbearer could not help thanking them for the warm reception.
He, therefore, asked them to translate the outpour of love shown him into votes, by voting massively for him and the NPP parliamentary candidate.
The Paramount Chief of Kpassa Traditional Area, Dr. Ubor Tossan Konja VI, thanked the government for the various developmental projects and social interventions including the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS), Free Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and ongoing projects like the Agenda 111 Hospitals.
Dr. Bawumia promised to do more for them when elected President on December 7 when Ghana heads to the polls, and thus asked them for their votes to enable him fulfil his side of the bargain.
