Ashanti delegates connect to Bawumia campaign

The Ashanti Region has once again demonstrated support for the candidature of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia currently on a campaign tour.

Dr. Bawumia who is a frontrunner in the flag-bearer race of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) since Thursday, July 6, 2023 has been meeting with the party’s grassroots, executives, council of elders and some opinion leaders outlining his vision ahead of the November 4, 2023 primaries.

This was preceded by the launch of his campaign office at Asokwa where thousands of party supporters were in attendance.

Seen as the favorite of the delegates, the Vice President appears to have enjoyed their open support from the party’s stronghold and seem as best to lead.

As a result, many who turned to receive him in their constituencies printed their own T-shirts and banners in demonstration of how loved and welcome he is.

Dr Bawumia hailed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the tremendous show of love shown him each time he is in the region.

He described the gesture not only as surprising but also amazing urging the rank and file of the party in the region to continue to forge ahead in unity.

“I am humbled by the surprising and amazing support. It is a big statement you have made. Let me commend Constituency Chairmen and other executives in the Ashanti Region for this support, “he said.

According to him, he exists because of them lauding them, particularly those who contested elections but united thereafter.

“I exist because of you. The organization of this welcome was done in unity between Chairman Wontumi and Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, and that is very commendable. It is only the NPP that can beat itself and therefore unity in Ashanti is important ahead of 2024 polls, “he observed.

To this end, he appealed to the NPP in Ashanti, which is the stronghold of the party to continue to tread on that path and consolidate the gains to retain power in 2024.

“NPP will win 2024 if we are united. Let us unite among ourselves, “he counseled.
