Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has wasted no time in launching his campaign after successfully filing his nomination to contest the flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). His campaign team has shared a detailed itinerary outlining his activities.
Following the submission of his nomination on Friday, June 16, 2023, Dr. Bawumia embarked on his campaign by visiting two constituencies in the Greater Accra Region. The Vice President engaged with party delegates in the Ayawaso East and La Dadekotopon Constituencies, sharing his vision and seeking their support ahead of the party’s primaries.
The campaign, titled “Bawumia Connects with Delegates,” is set to traverse the entire country in the coming days, as Dr. Bawumia aims to secure votes. He has served as Vice President alongside President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the past six years.
The NPP opened nominations for the flagbearer position on May 26, 2023, in preparation for the 2024 general elections. The nomination process concluded on June 24, 2023, with approximately ten prospective candidates submitting their nominations.
Next, the candidates will undergo a vetting process, followed by a special electoral college on August 26, 2023, which will narrow down the number of candidates to five. The final step will be the national congress on November 4, 2023, during which the party will officially elect its flagbearer for the 2024 presidential election.
During an address at the NPP’s national headquarters, Dr. Bawumia shared his commitment to Ghana’s development through the effective utilization of digitalization, should he be elected as the President of Ghana.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign is set to continue on Saturday, with visits to the Ada, Sege, Ningo Prampram, and Kpone Katamanso Constituencies.
