Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on Ghanaians to reject John Mahama in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
According to Dr. Bawumia, a Mahama presidency would only last four years, rendering him unaccountable to the people since he would not be seeking re-election.
Dr. Bawumia made this statement during his ongoing tour of the Eastern Region, where he has been engaging with constituents, traditional authorities, and religious leaders.
He emphasised the importance of electing a leader who would be accountable to the people for a full term.
“If we vote for former president Mahama, he can only become president for four years. Four years and that is it. He doesn’t have to come back for another election. You wouldn’t see him again in Lower Manya Krobo, he won’t come back, he’ll just take the presidency and it’s bye-bye, honeymoon and it’s retirement.”
The NPP flagbearer has visited several constituencies in the Eastern Region, including Akropong, Asuogyaman, Lower Manya Krobo, and Yilo Krobo.
His campaign has focused on door-to-door engagement, community connects, and meetings with traditional and religious leaders.
In one of his engagements, Dr. Bawumia pledged to provide a bus for the Krobo Girls Senior High School, which was met with enthusiasm from the students.
“I just told Nene Sackitey that I’m going to personally buy a bus for Krobo Girls School so I will work on that for you.”
