The Member of Parliament for Fanteakwa South Constituency in the Eastern Region Kofi Okyere Agyekum has assured Presidential hopeful Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia that all delegates in his constituency would vote for him come the NPP’s presidential primaries.
According to him, he built a bridge at Bososu Zongo and the then running mate for President Akufo-Addo and now the Vice President, Dr Bawumia came and commissioned it and ceased the opportunity and do campaign for them and it yielded a positive result.
“Saying, because of the former National Chairman for NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo they have never won an elections at Bososu before but when Dr. Bawumia stepped his foot over there and campaigned for them they won in that area for the very first time, and since then, that place has now become their stronghold.
Kofi Okyere Agyekum adds, so those who are saying when the did the V.P came and wanted to become the flagbearer, I’m telling them that in 2012 he came to Fanteakwa South, worked hard for us to win in Bososu Zongo community for the first time in history of Ghana’s elections indicating they would also show their appreciation to him by voting massively for him to become their Flagbearer in 2024.
He made this remarks at Nsutem on Sunday, August 13, 2023 when Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia connected with the Fanteakwa South delegates and pleaded with them to give him the nod come their Special and Supper Delegates Conferences slated for August 26 and November 4, 2023 to lead them into the 2024 general elections.
Meanwhile, the NPP Chairman for Fanteakwa South, Maxi Kwadwo Appiah said, in 2012 elections petition, when they were looking for someone to go and defended them in Supreme Court they didn’t get any man but it took Dr. Bawumia to sacrificed himself for the party and today same people are saying when they did he came.
“….And it is through Dr. Alhaji Bawumia’s effort in Supreme Court that made us to know elections are won at the polling station so we will also honour him to become our Flagbearer come elections 2024 elections”, he stated.
Moreover, the Presidential hopeful, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia said, among all the ten (10) aspirants who are contesting he is the one the NDC people are attacking and talking about him because they fear him.
He noted that, the NDC have only three strongholds in Ghana, that is; Northern Region, Volta Region and Zongo communities in the Southern zone.
“And when they go to Northern and Volta Region they tell them NPP is Akan party, when they come to the Zongo communities in southern zone too they tell them that NPP doesn’t like the Muslims and if NPP delegates vote for me their campaign would fall inside the water because they won’t have anything to say out our party again”, he stressed.
