Some Members and Supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has began the comparism between Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia and Trade Minister, Hon John Kwadwo Alan Kyeremanten, as to who lead the New Patrotic Party in the 2024 general elections.
Following this hullabaloo which many has described as premature, Mr. Alhaji Umar Bodinga, the Eastern Regional First Vice Chairman of the NPP, has added his voice to the growing canker saying, it is currently unnecessary for followers of the two parties, Alan and Bawumia to start debating on who leads the ruling party in 2024 as flagbearer.
He however indicated that since Dr Bawumia was sworn in as the Vice President of the fourth Republic together with Prez Akufo-Addo on Thursday, January 7, 2021, it is key for all party faithfuls to commonly rally behind the party and serve Ghanaians better instead of the sparkling division with this unwarranted debate and comparism.
“I’m not sure Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia have sit down with anybody and asked them to go to grounds and do campaign for him ahead of the 2024 general elections as well as the Hon. John Kwadwo Alan Kyeremanten” Umar Bodinga told Kontinhene Kofi Oboh of Kingdom FM fame.
He stressed “So if Prez Akufo-Addo find out that any of his officers who are suppose to work for him and the country are rather working for their own personal interest, he will reshuffle many people in his gov’t”.
He then schooled friends of Bawumia and Alan that since any politcal party posseses the mandate to have followers declaring themselves as fans of any individual, NPP party has it structures and directives hence everything would be done by the top hierarchy accordingly.
“Therefore all what am saying is that,’ anybody who is serving officer of the party being it Polling station Executive, Electoral Area Coordinator, Constituency Executives, Regional Executive or the National they should be mindful that the party has its laws”.
This, Mr. Alhaji Umar Bodinga advised friends and supporters of both parties, [Bawumia and Alan] to exercise patience. adding that; “Let’s all come together and help Prez Akufo-Addo to develop Ghana in his second term in office and after that our leaders will decide for us who should lead the party into 2024 elections”.
