Anyone who wants to eat, gets some and I don\u2019t discriminate; nobody is under lock and key. So, I don\u2019t know what they mean by camping, Camping, in a real sense, is when you block them up somewhere all night and then carry them in a bus to go vote. But this is an open place where people can walk in and take their breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bawumia Talks<\/p>\n<p>In other development, flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has however called on all losing candidates to put the elections behind them and rally behind the NPP to make history.<\/p>\n<p>He made this known in a congratulatory message shared via his social media.<\/p>\n<p>The flagbearer of the NPP is of the view that they will have to work closely with the winning candidates for the party to make history as the first to break the four-year cycle in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>His post reads, \u201cOn behalf of the New Patriotic Party, I congratulate all those who have been elected today by the delegates of our party to participate in the December elections on the ticket of the NPP. I congratulate also the party parliamentary elections committee, the Electoral Commission of Ghana, the Security services, and the media for their contributions to making today\u2019s election a peaceful and successful one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo those who lost out, I, together with the rank and file of the party, need your support and contributions to ensure that we win majority seats and the Presidency in December 2024. I urge the unsuccessful aspirants to leave the election behind, consider the supreme interest of the party, and work closely with the elected parliamentary candidates to secure success for the NPP. With unity of purpose, we will win in December 2024!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
