The atmosphere in the Asuogyaman, Lower Manya, and Yilo Krobo constituencies was electrifying when Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), visited the areas.
Unlike in the past, thousands of people flocked to the various meeting grounds to hear Dr. Bawumia’s message amid cheers and applause.
The unprecedented crowd was treated to various songs composed by different musicians for the NPP’s 2024 campaign, which has kicked off in earnest.
The Vice President used the occasion to present his policy proposals to the massive crowds and urged them to vote not only for him as president but also for the parliamentary candidates on the NPP ticket.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that a vote for him would translate into “bold solutions,” while a vote for his main opponent, former President John Mahama, would mean “a vote for old solutions.”
Achievement
He highlighted his achievements as Vice President, including resolving generational issues, and promised to do more as president.
Dr. Bawumia outlined his new ideas and bold solutions, such as a new tax system, training one million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications, revising the National Service Scheme, and implementing a Ghana Card for passport policy.
The NPP flagbearer also compared the records of the NPP and the NDC, showcasing the NPP’s superior achievements in education, economic indicators, healthcare, tourism, sports infrastructure, digitalization, and more.
He highlighted the NPP’s flagship programs, including Free SHS, One District One Ambulance, expanded health insurance, free basic education and school feeding, the District Road Improvement Program, LEAP, and reinstated nurses’ and teachers’ training allowances.
Commitment
Dr. Bawumia also emphasized the NPP’s commitment to security, the recruitment of over 30,000 personnel, and the One District One Factory initiative, which has created jobs and stimulated local economies.
He urged the party’s rank and file to work hard to win the 2024 presidential election and secure a parliamentary majority.
Dr. Bawumia’s message was clear: he is the candidate with bold solutions for Ghana’s future, and the NPP has a proven track record of transforming the lives of Ghanaians across the country.
“We are poised to vote for the NPP this time around because we believe Bawumia has the solutions that can change the destiny of this country,” said a young lady who attended the event.
Another constituent remarked, “The number of people who came out to see Dr. Bawumia is extraordinarily huge. It has never happened here before that the NPP would attract such a turnout. Things will definitely change for the party in the December elections.”
