Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged Ghanaians to prioritize peace during the upcoming December 7 general elections. Speaking at various churches in the Weija-Gbawe Constituency on Sunday, September 1, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that elections should be about exchanging ideas, not resorting to violence, as they are vital in shaping the nation’s future.
Dr. Bawumia was joined by notable figures, including NPP Parliamentary aspirant Jerry Ahmed Shaib, Greater Accra Regional Minister Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover, Anyaa-Sowutuom MP Dr. Dickson Adomako Kissi, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong. Together, they visited several churches, such as the Hills Pentecostal Church, Mandela Assembly of the Church of Pentecost, New Jerusalem Presbyterian Church, and the Ayigbe Town District of the Church of Pentecost. They also made a stop at the Disciples of Christ Ministries, led by Apostle Mrs. Lilian Kumah.
During these visits, Dr. Bawumia cited Matthew 19:26, asking the clergy to pray for the nation, for him, and for the NPP’s parliamentary candidates.
In the Anyaa-Sowutuom Constituency, Dr. Bawumia was warmly welcomed by traders and pedestrians at the Ablekuma-Pokuase intersection, where he shared his “Bold Solutions” message. He promised to create jobs by training a million youth in digital skills if elected President.
He also met with local clergy, imams, chiefs, and opinion leaders at Pentecost University to discuss government policies such as the Free SHS and free technical and vocational education training programs. Dr. Bawumia highlighted the restoration of nursing and teacher training allowances and the construction of Agenda 111 hospitals as key achievements.
Additionally, Dr. Bawumia spoke about the Zongo Development Fund, which the government introduced to improve Zongo communities through the establishment of ICT centers, enhanced sanitation, and scholarships for students from these communities to study medicine in Cuba.
