The Bono East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Chairman Ibrahim Baba Bukari, widely known as ‘Game Changer’, has declared the NPP’s firm determination to deprive the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of any parliamentary seat in the region.
Chairman Ibrahim Baba Bukari asserted that the party is vigorously striving to secure all 11 parliamentary seats in the region during the upcoming 2024 general elections.
During an interview on Techiman-based private radio station Radio Link on Monday, March 25, 2024, Chairman Ibrahim Baba Bukari elucidated that each parliamentary seat holds significant importance for the party’s electoral prospects.
He emphasized, “we are battle-ready and not leaving any stone unturned to wrest some of the seats from the NDC. I’ve done scientific research, and I can assure you that currently, I have 7 constituencies under foot.”
“For us, we are going for all the parliamentary seats occupied by the NDC, and as such, we need to work hard in order to appeal to the electorate to enable the NPP to win more seats in the 2024 general election. All seats are winnable; I’m targeting all 11 seats, but at least 7 of them should be won by the NPP.
He further stated, “We have only 3 seats; NDC has 8 seats, but at least we should win 7 of them. We will do our best to enable the party to win more seats and increase the presidential votes in the region”.
Therefore, we must diligently appeal to the electorate to ensure the NPP’s success in the 2024 general election. While our primary aim is to win all 11 seats, securing at least 7 victories is imperative.”
Highlighting the current parliamentary standings, he added, “With only 3 seats currently held by the NPP compared to the NDC’s 8, it is essential for us to win at least 7 seats.
We will exert our utmost efforts to expand our parliamentary representation and increase presidential votes in the region.”
Chairman Ibrahim Baba Bukari emphasized the importance of unity and proactive measures within the party, underscoring these as vital components for achieving victory in the 2024 elections.
He stressed the significance of unity, harmony, and diligent efforts as strategic approaches to reclaiming lost parliamentary seats.
He urged both party leadership and members to work together harmoniously and diligently, avoiding complacency to secure success.
Assuring comprehensive mobilization of resources, both material and human, for an efficient and effective campaign, he pledged, “We will ensure adequate provision of resources to facilitate a robust campaign.”
Moreover, he cautioned against the tendency of party members to defect after losing in primaries, urging them to remain steadfast to bolster the party’s chances of retaining power in 2024.
