Alhaji Farouk Aliu Mahama, the member of parliament for Yendi, has given Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia a brand-new Mitsubishi pickup in support of the vice president’s 2024 presidential bid.
Farouk Aliu Mahama, who has openly declared support for Dr. Bawumia, claims he is backing his support with the donation of the high-performing vehicle for his campaign. With campaign activities ramping up, Dr. Bawumia is widely expected to emerge as the next flagbearer of the NPP for the 2024 elections.
The vehicle will support the Bawumia 2024 campaign’s operational efforts in the country’s Eastern Corridor, which includes, among other constituencies, Yendi, Bimbila, Zabzugu, Wulensi, and Kpandai.
The Yendi MP has already given the car a brand by emblazoning it with images of Dr. Bawumia and the campaign slogan “Next To Lead.”
Mr. Mahama is a formidable lawmaker who, by winning the last two elections with resounding victories, turned the Yendi constituency into a stronghold for the NPP.
Together with other MPs, he has vowed to use their collective clout to support and ensure Dr. Bawumia’s resounding victory in the upcoming NPP primary.
