Andy Appiah Kubi and Andy Owusu who just couldn’t keep calm to throw their weight behind the Vice President, had to make their way to the VEEP’s house early in the morning. They’ve both publicly declared their support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to lead as the flagbearer for the NPP.
Dr.Bawumia was accompanied by over One hundred Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Majority side of Parliament led by Hon Annor Domprah,the Majority Chief Whip among hundreds of Government officials as well as hundreds of delegates to submit his nomination forms at the Party’s National headquarters on Friday,16th June,2023.
The vice President who was the second to submit his nomination forms after the Former Trade and Industry Minister,Hon.Alan Kyerematen submitted his forms is seeking to lead the NPP as flagbearer in the 2024 elections.
Addressing party supporters after filing his nomination forms at the party headquarters, the Vice President said he has worked hard in both private and public life to attain the current position he occupies.
According to Dr. Bawumia, although he served in various capacities under former President John Agyekum Kufour including being the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana and subsequently as Vice President, he has his own vision for the country.
“I believe that it is time to move Ghana to the next level by building on the foundations we have put in place so far.
“Together with you, I want to see a Ghana where we leverage technology, data and systems for inclusive economic growth. I want to make Ghana the digital hub of Africa. I want us to bridge the digital divide and apply digital technology and artificial intelligence for the transformation of healthcare, education, and public service delivery amongst others”.
While stating his desire to see Ghana become a nation that caters for the poor, support local businesses and build industries for economic growth, Dr. Bawumia said there is a lot more the nation can do to attain its desired status.
“Over the last 22 years, I have worked hard with you for the NPP and for Ghana from during the Kufuor era as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, through our years in opposition and now in government.
“During this period, I have sacrificed for the party, I have defended the party in good times and in challenging times, I have never wavered nor slacked. Never! and I have built a solid track record of performance as Vice President with an unflinching loyalty to our party and government through rain or shine,” he source: tntnewspapergh.com with additional file by myjoyonlince.com
