Seth Kwame Acheampong, the Eastern Regional Minister, has given his support to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s bid to lead the NPP into the general elections in 2024.
He claimed that the atmosphere and harmony in his constituency make it abundantly evident that Dr. Bawumia is what the party needs to keep hold of power.
On Sunday, August 13, 2023, Dr. Bawumia and his campaign team’s final day of campaigning in the Eastern area, the former MP for Mpraeso addressed delegates at Mpraeso.
He said “I am here to speak to you about the next flagbearer of the NPP. Someone who will lead us cross the red sea to the promise land. Among all the 10 candidates aspiring to lead the NPP, I am closer to all of them but I have listened and assessed all of them I believe strongly, if NPP wants to break the eight ,then it is only one person(Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ) who will lead us do that for the party. Mpraeso people you know how I communicate things dear to my heart. All the votes must go for Dr. Bawumia. He has always stood for Mpraeso constituency in every election he has come here many times to campaign so you can’t disappoint him”.
He said in his speech that “Since we started this flagbearership campaign, I have not spoken. But today I will speak. I was elected General Secretary of the NPP 25 years ago. I have had experience working under several stalwarts of the Party. I know the NPP very well. I know very well all the 10 people contesting. But I am here at Okere saying this. That anyone who knows me know that I speak the truth and you cannot influence me with anything.
I love all the aspirants, but I love the NPP more. My friends in the NPP, if we look at what is happening in Ghana and NPP now, we are looking into the future. Based on my knowledge of the Party and judging from what is happening, I want to say and ask all of you to go and vote for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. We have to be very strategic as a party in order to win 2024 and the best strategic decision is to elect Vice president Bawumia as our flagbearer”.
