Dr. Bawumia – I Will Beat Mahama In The North

Dr. Bawumia , Ghana’s Vice President, ahead of the 2024 general elections, has vowed to defeat the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer nominee, John Mahama, in the North of the country, promising a major transformation in Zongo Communities across the country.

Addressing a group of NPP party faithfuls in Accra over the weekend, Dr. Bawumia made the claim that the NDC is so terrified of him because of the knowledge they have of him defeating their nominee, John Dramani Mahama, in all the northern areas of Ghana thereby cutting down on their support in their strongholds.

The Vice President, Dr. Bawumia , further added that it is surprising how the NDC is making every propagandist effort to prevent him from leading the NPP into the 2024 general elections.

“Are they not telling you to vote for me? They know that if the NPP selects Bawumia as their flagbearer, their campaign will fall underwater. They know their campaign is over. They would be in trouble. They know we would break the eight.

“They know John Mahama can’t take me on in the north. I will be him in the north… They know the Zongos would change; is that not so? And even Volta, we would get something from there.

“They are saying don’t vote for Bawumia; vote for somebody else. You are going for [a] competition with somebody, and they want to select a striker for you. Is that the way? No,” he said.

The vice president, therefore, urged delegates of the NPP to vote massively for him in the upcoming primaries.

Meanwhile, flagbearer aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, member of parliament for Assin Central, is also hopeful of emerging victorious in the upcoming primaries, which is slated for November 4, 2023. Many stalwarts in the NPP party are skeptical of what the chances are for Kennedy Agyapong, since the odds seem to favor either of Dr. Bawumia or former trade minister, Hon. John Kwadwo Kyerematen, popularly known as “Alan Cash”.
