The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has announced an ambitious plan to provide every district in Ghana with an Astroturf if he wins the presidency.
Highlighting the NPP government’s achievements under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Dr. Bawumia noted that the administration has built approximately 150 Astroturfs across the country, a significant increase from the mere three that existed in 2017.
During a recent campaign stop in Dambai, he promised to construct an Astroturf for the community and emphasized his commitment to expanding sporting facilities nationwide.
“In the next few weeks, we will be building an Astroturf for you at Dambai. From the way things are going, every district must have an Astroturf. When we assumed office in 2017, there were just three Astroturfs nationwide, but after eight years, we have increased that number to 150.
“When we come into power again, we will make sure the rest of the districts without one will get it,” he said in a video shared by GHOne TV on X.
As the December 7, 2024, elections approach, Dr. Bawumia continues to engage with communities to outline his policies and vision for Ghana.
