The Member of Parliament (MP) for Takoradi Constituency, Kobby Okyere Darko-Mensah, has emphasised that under no circumstances will the delegates of his constituency, elect another aspirant to lead the NPP when the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is in the race.
Delivering a speech upon the visit of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the Takoradi Constituency, Mr Darko-Mensah minced no words as he sent a clear message that the delegates would not settle for less.
According to him, Dr Bawumia has been faithful to him and his delegates.
“Those of us on the ground and working with the grassroots know that Dr Bawumia is the one who has cared about us all these years. We will not exchange him for anyone,” he stated.
He also indicated that several other factors have accounted for their choice in Dr Bawumia as the party’s candidate for the 2024 elections which include his competence, humility and integrity.
The Western Regional Minister also mentioned the fact that Dr Bawumia is someone that anyone can easily reason with, something that endears him to many of the party members.
“Dr Bawumia is someone we can reason with, Dr Bawumia is humble so I am urging you, he knows the power of using power to raise people up, the power to make sure that Ghana would be better.”
The Vice President began his campaign tour in the Western Region on Sunday, July 23, 2023, where he met delegates of Takoradi and Effia constituencies.
