A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bono Region has called on the party to endorse Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the NPP’s Presidential candidate to enhance the fortunes of the party in Election 2024.

“Alhaji Dr. Bawumia gives the NPP the highest chance to win the 2024 General Election and we all must endorse him of the party yearns to retain political power”, Mr. Yaw Dabie Appiah Mensah, a former NPP Organiser in the then Brong-Ahafo region stated.

Speaking in an interview with Sompa FM at Odumase in the Sunyani West Municipality, Mr. Mensah said “it is clear for everybody to see that the Vice President has the ability to bring the development of the nation to the next level”.

“Dr. Bawumia has succeeded in reshaping and reintroducing into the discourse of our body-politics an issue based and intellectually stimulating campaigns and consistently boxed the opposition NDC into the intellectual corner”, he said.

 “The country has never witnessed a Vice President type of Dr. Bawumia who has demonstrated vibrancy, teamwork, and activeness in our body politics. He stands tall among his peers due to creativity and thinking faculties”, he added.

 Mr. Mensah said failure to endorse Dr. Bawumia would be a great loss to the NPP in the next General Election, saying “if we don’t want to go to the political grave then we must endorse the Vice President to lead us in Election 2024 for overwhelming victory”.

He said the Vice President was largely credited for the nation’s digitalization advances, such as the implementation of the Ghana Card, Mobile Money Interoperability, Digital Address System, Digitization of Passport Application and Births and Deaths.

“The drones and delivery of medical supplies, paperless ports, digitization of football ticketing, as well as the mobile renewal of the NHIS membership which have set the course of development are all the instrumentality of Dr. Bawumia”, Mr. Mensah stated.

The Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson, on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, took her turn on the party-government engagement series with a visit to the National Headquarters of the NPP where she interacted with national officers and staff of the Party.

The Hon. Minister, who doubles as Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya East Constituency, was hosted by Lawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the party. Also present to receive the Minister were Lawyer Henry Nana Boakye, National Organiser; Madam Kate Gyamfuah, National Women Organiser; and Mr. William Yamoah, Director for Finance and Administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The General Secretary thanked the Hon. Minister for the visit, and intimated that the gesture was deeply appreciated by the leadership and the rank and file of the NPP. The General Secretary commended the Minister for the excellent performance at her Ministry and urged her to work hard to address some isolated grievances of fisherfolk.

Hon. Hawa Koomson shared some emerging concerns at her Ministry including issues regarding the distribution and sales of premix fuel, closure and opening of the fishing season among others. She however indicated that in spite of the challenges, the Ministry had put in place interventions to improve the fishing and aquaculture industry in the country.

She further assured the Party leadership that her office would work assiduously to improve the livelihoods of the fisherfolk and fishing communities in general. This, Hon. Hawa Koomson was optimistic would cement the party's chances of winning the next general elections massively in the fishing communities across the country.

She also pledged to engage party executives, loyalists and well-meaning Ghanaians in the coastal communities to inform critical decisions of her Ministry.

Upon assumption of office barely three months ago, the Ntim-Kodua led administration instituted a policy aimed at improving party-government relationship by solidifying the bond between government appointees and the party. The policy is also geared towards providing mutual assistance in fulfilling government's programmes and interventions for the good of the Ghanaian people.

Following the introduction of this policy, the party headquarters has hosted some Government Appointees including the CEO for Ghana Water Company Limited, Dr. Clifford Braimah; the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel Abdulai Jinapor, and the Minister for Youth and Sports, Hon Mustapha Ussif.

An aide to former president John Mahama, Stan Dogbe has charged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of sponsoring the heckling of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the 2022 Global Citizen Festival in Accra over the weekend.

He believes Ghanaians heckled Nana Addo due to the current economic hardship and the rising cost of fuel together with the general increase in the cost of living in the country.

Hopeson Adorye, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has predicted that Alan Kyeremanteng will be the President of Ghana after the 2024 general elections.
