Members of the Diasporan Community have appealed to New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates for the November 4 presidential primary to endorse Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as the party’s flagbearer for the 2024 elections.
Mr. Kingsley Ahenkora-Duodu and Baba Awal, Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively for Diaspora for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia from 27 external branches, at a press conference in Kumasi on Monday, pleaded with the delegates to vote for the Dr. Bawumia.
They reiterated the qualities of competence and experience on the part of the Vice President, as touted by President Akufo-Addo recently.
According to the two executives, the unprecedented achievements of the NPP government were enormous, and that the Vice President’s exceptional political influence in the 2016 and 2020 general elections had become a household name. This, they argued, had made him the inevitable presidential candidate for the party in the 2024 General Elections.
Mr. Ahenkora-Duodu contended that the Bawumia factor would help the NPP garner votes from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) strongholds in Ghana, including the Northern part of the country, Zongos and other settlers.
He noted that, the NPP members from abroad related directly with all polling stations across the 275 constituencies, and had acknowledged and emphasised that the current economic challenges were global and not related to Ghana alone.
He said they had confidence that the measures being put in place by the Nana Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia administration would bring the economy back.
Mr. Ahenkora-Duodu believes the Vice President was the right person to lead the party to be able to build a strong economy through digitalisation.
The Chairman of the Diasporan community has, therefore, pleaded with the delegates to give Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia their support to ensure continuity of the policies of the current NPP administration.
