Host of Egyaso Gyaso on Okay FM, Afia Pokua, also known as Vim Lady, has forecasted a triumph for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries scheduled for November 4, 2023.
She pointed out that the Vice President has the upper hand due to his 15-year track record of self-promotion and the advantage of incumbency, while Kennedy Agyapong entered the race more recently.
“There is nothing that will surprise me in this NPP election, I’ve predicted everything that will happen in this NPP congress but Bawumia will win this election. I’ve already told you. If you are for Kennedy Agyapong you don’t have to agree with me, I am saying what I have seen.
“This election, Kennedy Agyapong has really done well because Bawumia started marketing himself from 2008 while Kennedy Agyapong started recently.
“So, if you look at the period that Bawumia has had, the laxity; the fact that he is a sitting Vice President… he’s had the opportunity to sell himself for a long time. The advantage is on Bawumia’s side,” she said.
Vim Lady highlighted that if Ken had begun earlier, the outcome would have been different.
“If you compare it to the fact that Ken recently came into the race, then technically if Ken had the same period Bawumia has had, then maybe he would beat him. But with this election, Bawumia will win,” she said.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is scheduled to choose its presidential candidate for the 2024 election on Saturday, November 4, 2023. The candidates vying for this position include Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, Francis Addai-Nimoh, and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto.
