A young man was overwhelmed with emotion when he had the chance to hug Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), during a door-to-door campaign in the Upper West Region.
Dr. Bawumia, who had been touring the region for a week, stopped to interact with the young man and others present.
Seeing the young man’s eagerness for a handshake, Dr. Bawumia offered him a warm hug instead, making the moment even more special.
The vice president also posed for photos with the young man, who wanted to capture the memory.
The young man, initially planning to vote for another candidate, confessed that this encounter converted him to believe in the NPP’s “It Is Possible” campaign for the 2024 election.
He expressed his newfound admiration, saying, “This is my first time meeting this man, and I like you. It is possible. Today, I will sleep like I’m in Heaven. I was negative, but now it has become positive.”
During his campaign stop in Jirapa, Dr. Bawumia addressed comments made by John Mahama, who claimed the NPP would not choose a Northerner as their flagbearer.
Dr. Bawumia countered this, stating that despite skepticism, he became the NPP’s leader by God’s grace.
He highlighted that Mahama had previously said the NPP should elect Bawumia if they wanted Northern votes.
Now, with his leadership, Dr. Bawumia urged the North to support him in the upcoming election.
