He noted that Dr. Bawumia, as a running mate and Vice President, had impacted positively on presidential campaigns and the growth of the party.
Mr. Ayensu noted that over the last six years, Dr. Bawumia had been an effective partner to President Nana Akufo-Addo, culminating in good policies and social interventions.
