Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer for the 2024 elections, is embarking on a three-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region starting today, Monday, June 10, 2024.
Speculation is rife that Dr. Bawumia might reveal his running mate from the Ashanti Region during this tour.
The campaign will commence with a gathering at True Vine Hotel, where Dr. Bawumia will meet with Ashanti regional executives of the party, government appointees, parliamentarians, parliamentary candidates, the regional council of elders, the council of patrons, constituency chairpersons, former regional executives, former council members, former appointees, and former MPs.
Later in the morning, Dr. Bawumia will present his vision to all paramount chiefs and queen mothers at the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs secretariat in Kumasi, ahead of his campaign manifesto launch for the general elections.
Following a two-hour session with traditional leaders, Dr. Bawumia will engage with the clergy at McKeown Temple and then meet with Muslim leaders at the Kumasi Central Mosque in the afternoon. Subsequently, he will interact with traders at the Kumasi Central Market.
Dr. Bawumia will wrap up the first day of his tour with meetings at the True Vine Hotel with various professional groups, including the Ghana Medical Association, Ghana Bar Association, Ghana Journalists Association, University Teachers Association of Ghana, Ghana National Association of Teachers, National Association of Graduate Teachers, Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana Institute of Architects, Ghana Institute of Engineers, Ghana Institute of Surveyors, Ghana Association of Society of Medical Physics, Nurses and Midwifery Association, Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ghana, and the Ghana Institute of Planning, among others.
