Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has ended his campaign tour of the Bono Region with a strong show of support from grassroots members of the New Patriotic Party.
Delegates in Berekum East say the belief that his backing comes only from the top ranks of the party is simply not true.
During an interaction with journalists at Berekum East, party members spoke with conviction about their decision to support Dr. Bawumia’s flagbearer bid.
“He is the only candidate Ghanaians will vote for. Who says he does not have support? That cannot be true. The mistake we made in Berekum East will not be repeated. We are voting massively for Dr. Bawumia. Even though there are five contenders, he will win with a great margin. He has enormous support,” a polling station executive said.
Another delegate, who serves as an electoral area coordinator, said Dr. Bawumia’s track record gives him a clear edge. “I can assure Dr. Bawumia of our full support. All we want to say is that his performance in the election petition will be rewarded. When he wins, the NDC will be silenced,” the coordinator said.
A women’s organizer from Kankaba polling station said their group stands firmly behind him. “All 17 of us here support Dr. Bawumia because he is the only one who can win 2028 for us. Claims that he lacks grassroots support are not true,” she said.
Others spoke of their confidence in his ability to continue the work of President Nana Akufo-Addo. “Left to me alone, Dr. Bawumia should be our flagbearer to continue the good works of Nana Akufo-Addo. Even with the free SHS, the cost is high with NDC in power, and Dr. Bawumia will bring inclusive development,” another delegate said.
Dr. Bawumia’s visit to the Bono Region has drawn large crowds and visible enthusiasm. His final day includes stops in Berekum East, Sunyani West and Sunyani East constituencies, where he is expected to meet more delegates and strengthen support ahead of the NPP’s upcoming presidential primaries.
