Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, has urged Ghanaians to reject John Mahama in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Dr. Bawumia argued that a presidency under Mahama would be limited to just four years, making him less accountable to the public as he would not face re-election. He made these comments during his ongoing tour of the Eastern Region, where he has been engaging with constituents, traditional leaders, and religious figures.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the need for electing a leader who will be accountable for a full term. “If we vote for former president Mahama, he can only become president for four years. Four years and that is it. He doesn’t have to come back for another election. You wouldn’t see him again in Lower Manya Krobo; he won’t come back, he’ll just take the presidency and it’s bye-bye, honeymoon and it’s retirement,” he stated.
During his tour, Dr. Bawumia has visited several constituencies in the Eastern Region, including Akropong, Asuogyaman, Lower Manya Krobo, and Yilo Krobo. His campaign strategy includes door-to-door engagements, community connections, and meetings with traditional and religious leaders.
In one notable engagement, Dr. Bawumia promised to personally fund a bus for Krobo Girls Senior High School, a pledge that was met with excitement from the students. “I just told Nene Sackitey that I’m going to personally buy a bus for Krobo Girls School so I will work on that for you,” he said.
