In order to assist Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, in his campaign for the NPP flagbearership, an organization calling itself the Bawumia Fan Club has raised $50,000.
The group claimed that all of its members across the nation’s diverse constituencies contributed to the fund-raising effort.
Dr. Bawumia, the vice president, has formally announced his desire to compete in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary elections.
The NPP’s candidate for the pivotal general elections of 2024 will be chosen in the primaries scheduled for November 2023.
Dr. Bawumia is the best candidate to lead the party due to his leadership qualities, according to the group’s National Chairman, Eric Kwabena Twumasi Ankrah, during a gathering at the Cultural Centre in Kumasi.
He claimed that the vice president is inherently superior to all other contenders because of his humility and regard for regular Ghanaians.
He said that Dr. Bawumia “has all the qualities to lead the country. He is very respectful and knowledgeable.”
The vice president, according to Mr. Ankrah, has been able to start a number of projects, the most notable of which is his ability to digitalize nearly every industry in the nation.He came to the conclusion that none of the contenders has the skills necessary to challenge and defeat Dr. Bawumia.
“Bawumia’s knowledge greatly aided the NPP. He helped us see things differently in nearly everything, including elections, thus he is the ideal candidate to lead the party and Ghana in general following the 2024 elections, the speaker said.
He declared that the group is ready to support the vice president in any way.
Upon their return from the Kumawu by-election, he said, “We will wait for them at the party’s office in Accra and hand over the money to him, any amount we are ready to pay for him.”
Millicent The group’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Elizabeth Boateng, said that people shouldn’t believe that the vice president gave them the money because it was actually raised internally among the group’s members.
She said the group has long backed Dr. Bawumia and will do all it takes to ensure his success.
She claimed that Dr. Bawumia was the most qualified candidate to lead the party and the nation because he has held the role of flagbearer.
