Promote me to President - Dr Bawumia to electorate

The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to promote him to the position of President to continue with his good works.

As Vice-President, he said, he had come up with 33 policies to support President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and “it is a clear indication that I have passed the job as Vice-President and so promote me to continue with the work as President.”

Awutu Senya

Dr Bawumia said this during his tour of the two  Awutu Senya constituencies in the Central region last Monday (September 2, 2024).

“I want you in this coming election to look at what is better for the future of this country. If you look at the work I have done as Vice-President, you will not find a Vice President in the history of this country who has done more work than Dr Bawumia

“Let us go and work hard. Where we have got to with the work, we need not make any mistake because the NDC will derail the progress made,” he said.

Meeting

As part of his tour of the Awutu Senya East Constituency, Dr Bawumia held a meeting with opinion leaders including the clergy, Imams and traditional leaders during which he shared his message of “bold solutions” to the people.

These included making agriculture a priority and boosting the current power generation with 2000 megawatts of solar power to minimise the cost of electricity by 50 per cent.

He also promised to support market women with capital through the women’s trade empowerment fund as well as to establish a bank for Small and Medium Enterprises.

He also reiterated his commitment to the plight of People Living with Disability (PwDs) and said every recruitment by government would include the PwDs.

Interaction

On arrival in the constituency, Dr Bawumia took time to go round the Kasoa old market to interact with the traders who cheered, shook hands and hugged him.

The NPP Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, stressed the need for  peaceful elections in the constituency.

She said without peace she could not work and said whenever “you hear Hawa, it is peace, development and progress.”

The Overlord of the Odupon State, Odupon Okrudu Kantanka, in a speech read on his behalf, expressed appreciation to the government for the numerous development projects in the area including courts, the Agenda 111 hospital, a police command headquarters and roads.
