The 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has donated GH¢100,000 to Bernard Mensah, a polling station officer in Mampoma, Twifo Atti-Morkwa constituency, who suffered a near-fatal electrical accident.
Mr. Mensah sustained severe injuries while fixing streetlight bulbs on poles during the 2024 election campaign. His condition has required extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
To support his recovery, Dr. Bawumia provided the financial assistance through a delegation led by Central Regional NPP Chairman Percival Quaicoe, along with Regional Secretary Richard Takyi Mensah and Treasurer Francis Asare.
Speaking on behalf of Dr. Bawumia, Mr. Quaicoe praised Mr. Mensah’s dedication and sacrifice for the party and his community.
“Bernard’s selflessness and commitment, even at great personal risk, exemplifies the patriotism that propels our party and nation forward. We stand with him in this difficult time and will continue to support him as he recovers,” he stated.
The donation is expected to cover medical expenses and provide relief to Mr. Mensah’s family. The gesture has been widely appreciated by the NPP community and the general public.
Expressing his gratitude, Mr. Mensah said, “I am deeply thankful to His Excellency and the party for this generous support. It gives me hope and strength to continue my recovery. I remain committed to the NPP and will continue to serve my community.”
The delegation emphasized that this act of kindness reflects Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to the welfare of party members and his appreciation for those who contribute to the party’s success.
