Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president, has urged New Patriotic Party (NPP) members to choose him as their party’s nominee for president in the general elections of 2024.
He claims that he has the experience necessary to both lead the party and defeat the former president John Dramani Mahama.
He claims that having defeated the former president twice, he will be able to defeat him once more in the 2024 elections, enabling the party to “break the 8.”
As a result, the Vice President urged the delegates to support him heavily in the primary elections.
He insisted that he is the most qualified person to defeat John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer for the NDC.
“As we go for the presidential primaries. We need someone who can help us retain. We need a selfless leader to lead the party and not a richer man. We need someone who has humility. We need someone who has a track record. We need someone who has the temperament. We need someone who has innovative ideas and has tolerance for everyone.”
“If you look at all of us the ten aspirants, I have the political experience in campaigning and winning elections against John Mahama.”
“I have beaten him twice already and I know how to defeat him again in the 2024 elections.”
Former Trade and Industry Minister Alan Kyerematen, former Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, former Mampong MP Francis Addai-Nimoh, former Railways and Development Minister Joe Ghartey, and former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko are among the NPP stalwarts running for flagbearer.
Others include Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, a two-time candidate for president, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former general secretary of the NPP, and Kennedy Agyepong, an MP from Assin Central.
