The Member of Parliament for Suhum in the Eastern Region, Oboafo Kwadjo Asante has declared his support for the Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer.
According to him, Dr Bawumia is a unified and exceptional personality who can lead the party to win the 2024 General elections.
Oboafo Kwadjo Asante said this when the Vice President engaged the Suhum NPP delegates during a stopover on his campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
The delegates who gathered at Suhum Pentecost Church on Tuesday went agog to welcome Dr Bawumia with open arms, giving him a rousing reception.
The warm welcome was a clear indication of the momentum that Dr Bawumia has been building within the party ahead of the NPP primaries.
Addressing the delegates, the Suhum MP expressed their unwavering support for Dr Bawumia’s leadership and his vision for the party and the country.
He also praised the Vice President’s dedication to the NPP and his impressive track record by highlighting his contributions to the government’s successes and his commitment to delivering on the party’s promises.
The Suhum MP further pointed out that the super delegates of the NPP, who are roughly 961 in number, will carry out the mandate they have been given by the party rank and file and vote for their candidate of choice on 26 August, adding that he and his party Chairman, Frederick Ofosu will cast their votes for Dr Bawumia.
Sharing his thoughts on his own experience of working with Dr Bawumia, what he thinks of him and the qualities he believes he possesses, Oboafo Kwadjo Asante argued that the Vice-President is a strong character and capable of being the standard-bearer for the NPP after President Akufo-Addo.
Since Dr Mahamudu Bawumia announced his decision to run for the presidential candidate slot of the NPP, he has been on a tour of Ghana to meet NPP delegates in all 275 constituencies in the country.
The Vice President has so far visited all 34 constituencies in the Greater Accra Region and all 47 constituencies in the Ashanti Region.
He has also visited all 17 constituencies in the Western Region as well as the 23 in the Central Region.
Dr Bawumia is currently touring the 33 constituencies in the Eastern Region.
