A former National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, is leading Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign for the 2024 general election to secure the party’s flagbearer position.
Given his impressive track record in political organisation and mobilisation, Awuku’s appointment comes as no surprise. He played crucial roles in helping the party win power as National Youth Organiser in 2016 and retain power in 2020 as National Organiser.
Nicknamed “Capo” for his political sagacity, Awuku is a prominent figure within the NPP.
Additionally, Nana Akomea, the Managing Director of Intercity STC Coaches Limited (STC), has taken on the role of Communications Director for Dr Bawumia’s campaign. As a seasoned communicator, Akomea brings extensive experience in effectively conveying political messages to the public.
The appointments of Awuku and Akomea highlight the emphasis on effective communication strategies in Bawumia’s campaign. Their proven capabilities and expertise are expected to bolster Bawumia’s chances of securing the NPP’s nomination as the flagbearer and winning the 2024 general elections.
The Vice President is also expected to announce other key players like Frederick Opare-Ansah and Nii Adjei Sowah to strengthen the team.
Dr Bawumia’s choice of Awuku and Akomea reflects his determination to lead the party to victory in the upcoming elections as the race for the NPP flagbearer intensifies.
