The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as NAPO, has encouraged the people of the Ashanti Region to give their full support to the party’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and help him win in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Reminding them of region’s history and their strong support for past presidents over the years, Napo highlighted how unity across the 47 constituencies contributed to the electoral victories of John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo.
Speaking to the chiefs and people of Kokofu in the Bekwai Constituency, he called on the people to show the same level of commitment and backing for Dr. Bawumia in this election.
“As the heartbeat of the NPP, the Ashanti Region’s overwhelming support and votes were crucial in helping our party elect capable leaders like John Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo as presidents. Now, it’s time to extend the same support to our dynamic and development-driven leader, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” he stated.
NAPO emphasized Dr. Bawumia’s qualities, describing him as a visionary, hard working, patriotic leader deserving of the party’s support to “break the eight” and create history.
He expressed confidence that, just as the region backed Kufuor in 2000 and 2004, and Akufo-Addo in 2016 and 2020, they would once again support Dr. Bawumia to retain power and continue the NPP’s development agenda.
The vice presidential candidate of the NPP noted that Dr. Bawumia possesses the qualifications to succeed President Akufo-Addo, urging voters to prioritize competence over ethnic or religious considerations when making their decision at the polls.
“This election isn’t about ethnicity, tribe, or religion. It’s about choosing the right leader to carry on the good works of President Akufo-Addo, and that person is Dr. Bawumia,” he said.
Napo went on to praise Dr. Bawumia’s experience, noting that his eight-year tenure as Vice President, free of corruption allegations, proves his readiness for leadership.
“Dr. Bawumia has diligently served this country without a single accusation of corruption. With him in charge, our national finances will be safe,” he mentioned.
