The Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP), under the leadership of Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi, has formally commenced its 2024 electioneering campaign with the inauguration of its regional campaign working team.
The inauguration of the working committees was done immediately after the women’s conference held on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at the Rattary Park Dome. The ceremony attracted party bigwigs and sympathisers.
The occasion marked the launch of the official campaign song composed by popular gospel artiste cum evangelist, Diana Asamoah.
Speaker after speaker encouraged the rank & file of the party to commit themselves to their target of gaining 85 per cent of Ashanti votes for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the December 7 general election.
Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka Napo, the running mate to the flagbearer, stated emphatically that it is now easier to garner 85 per cent votes in the region for Dr. Bawumia than before.
According to him, the party’s victory depends much on the region. He, therefore, called on the rank and file of the party to start aggressive house-house, door-to-door, office-to-office, market-to-market, etc. campaign in order to spread the good news of the NPP.
According to him, the NDC led by Mr. John Mahama has nothing new to offer Ghanaians. He, therefore, cautioned Ghanaians not to make any mistake to bring back Mr. Mahama.
He added that a vote for Dr. Bawumia is for the development and betterment of the foundation laid by the Akufo-Addo administration.
According to him, if Ghanaians make a mistake to vote the NDC back to power, it will lead to the collapse of the National Health Insurance Scheme, cancellation of teachers & nurses training allowance, cancellation of Free SHS, etc.
He said the victory of the party is going to start from the Ashanti Region again as the party is determined to snatch Asawase, Ejura, New Edubiase, among other seats, currently occupied by NDC Members of Parliament.
Chairman Wontumi, Mr. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu,former Majority Leader; Mr. Justin Frimpong Kodua, Madam Akosua Frema Opare, the Chief of Staff, among other speakers, stressed the need for the rank and file of the party to unite and campaign vigorously for both the presidential candidate and all party parliamentary candidates across the country.
It would be recalled that the leadership of the NPP has set its sight on achieving an unprecedented feat of a third successive electoral victory with the Ashanti Regional NPP as its ‘torchbearer’ following a series of past achievements.
