Running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, has called on the people in the Ashanti region to strongly rally behind the presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Reflecting on past successes, NAPO recalled how the 47 constituencies in the Ashanti Region united in support of John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo, leading to NPP’s electoral victories.
He urged the region to replicate the same commitment for Dr. Bawumia this time around.
“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 supported Kufuor in 2000 and 2004, and Akufo-Addo in 2016 and 2020, they would do the same for Dr. Bawumia to retain power and continue the NPP’s good works.
Addressing the chiefs and people of Kokofu in the Bekwai Constituency, NAPO reaffirmed Dr. Bawumia’s suitability to succeed President Akufo-Addo, urging voters to focus on competence rather than ethnic or religious affiliations when casting their votes.
“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.
He praised 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 added.
