Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the importance of selecting a leader who is dedicated to the welfare of the people and capable of ensuring the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remains in power during the 2024 general elections.
Addressing the NPP delegates, Dr. Bawumia stressed the paramountcy of maintaining political authority, stating that the party needs a leader who prioritizes the greater good rather than personal wealth.
He emphasized the significance of leadership experience and a proven track record in governance, highlighting the party’s need for a candidate who can bring innovative ideas to foster the country’s growth.
Dr. Bawumia highlighted his political background in his campaign against John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He emphasizes that he has emerged victorious against the former president on two separate occasions, instilling him with the confidence to secure another triumph in the upcoming 2024 elections.
“As we go for the presidential primaries, we need someone who can help us retain. We need someone who has humility. We need someone who has a track record. We need someone who has the temperament. We need someone who has innovative ideas and has tolerance for everyone,” Dr. Bawumia said.
The Vetting Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has approved the candidacy of Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia; former Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen; Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong; and seven other contenders for the NPP flagbearership race.
With this clearance, all ten candidates are now permitted to commence their preparations for the Super Delegates Congress of the NPP. During this congress, the field will be narrowed down to only five candidates.
The final list of these five candidates will then be presented to the delegates, who will cast their votes to choose the NPP’s presidential candidate for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
