Africa-Press – Ghana. Former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and Flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party for Ghana’s 2024 general elections says he is the most prepared person to lead the party.
He asked to be retained as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2028 general election.
Dr. Bawumia said: “I am offering myself to be elected as flagbearer because I believe I owe a duty to this party to give her a choice to put forward the most prepared candidate for the 2028 election and the most prepared person to be President in January 2029.
“I owe this party a duty, that if we are to win 2028, we ought not to start afresh from zero, instead we ought to build on the nearly 42% of valid votes and work to cross the 50% mark in the next election,” Bawumia said.
Addressing enthusiastic thousands of NPP after submitting his nomination forms at the NPP headquarters in Accra, Dr. Bawumia said: “Some said I’m the best Vice President in the country’s history.”
The Flagbearer aspirant, who has been the NPP’s running mate on four occasions and served as Vice President for two terms, stressed that his enormous experience represented the best bet for the NPP, hence it was imperative to retain him as flagbearer for the next general elections in 2028.
He said: “In the last 16 years, I have had the privilege of joining each and every constituency at least 5 times, to work hard on the ground and campaign and work for the NPP.
“Just like the thousands of you who may not have had all the money in the world to throw at the party, all my sweat, my reputation, my knowledge and my person have been dedicated to working with you for the success of this party.
As a result of this, there is no village or hamlet, no city or town where Mahamudu Bawumia’s face and name are not known.”
Dr. Bawumia added that with the experience he brings on board, coupled with his first attempt in 2024, the party ought not to begin afresh, but build upon what it has already built to cross the mark in 2028.
The former vice president, and flagbearer aspirant stressed that, in addition, he had served as Vice President, contributed to the erstwhile government, through a number of initiatives he championed, which are impacting the nation positively
“I’ve also had the privilege of serving as Vice President and supporting the President and Government in our last administration with ideas that have significantly impacted the lives of Millions of our people,” Dr. Bawumia said.
