Among the ten candidates, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the most qualified to be chosen as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, according to Dan Botwe, Member of Parliament for the Okere Constituency.
Dan Botwe, a former general secretary of the NPP, said he knows and loves the other candidates but that choosing Dr. Bawumia as the party’s flagbearer is the best tactical move for the party while speaking to party stakeholders in the Okere Constituency on Sunday as part of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
“Since we started this flagbearership campaign, I have not spoken,” he said.
“But today I will speak. I was elected General Secretary of the NPP 25 years ago. I have had experience working under several stalwarts of the Party. I know the NPP very well. I know very well all the 10 people contesting. But I am here at Okere saying this. That anyone who knows me knows that I speak the truth and you cannot influence me with anything,” Dan Botwe opened up.
“I love all the aspirants, but I love the NPP more. My friends in the NPP, if we look at what is happening in Ghana and NPP now, we are looking into the future. Based on my knowledge of the Party and judging from what is happening, I want to say and ask all of you to go and vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
The hug for me is deep.
