Ablekuma West Comes To Standstill During Bawumia Visit

Ablekuma West constituency in the Greater Accra Region on August 26, 2024 witnessed a political spectacle that will be remembered for years to come in an excitement scene during the visit of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

The gathering, which drew thousands of people dressed in NPP uniforms and waved flags, was a part of the Combined Community Connect initiative, which aims to engage voters ahead of the general election in 2024.

Stakeholder engagement at Dansoman Nasrawa kicked off the day’s events, which also included a courtesy call to traditional leaders and the clergy at the Nii Sempe W3 Palace, meet-and-greet at Dansoman Last Stop, and a closing performance at Tony’s Park.

Vice President Bawumia, known for his charismatic speeches and keen insights, was met with a hero’s welcome.

The audience erupted in cheers as Dr. Bawumia entered the stage. With his signature flair, he gave a speech that incorporated both a personal touch and his in-depth knowledge of Ghanaian economy.

He spoke about the government’s achievements and future plans, but he also took time to acknowledge the hard work and resilience of the people of Ablekuma West.

“We are here today not just to talk about policies but to celebrate the progress we’ve made together. Ablekuma West has always been a beacon of determination and unity. Your support and dedication are what drive us to keep pushing forward” he told the crowd.
