The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will outdoor his campaign team next week.
The Party’s General Secretary, Mr Justin Koduah Frimpong, on Saturday
said the Flagbearer had a clear vision for the nation, hence, he wasted no time
in announcing his policy direction just a few months after being elected as the
presidential candidate.
“Just look at the NDC Flagbearer former President John Mahama…has he
come out with his policy direction after a year of being elected flagbearer?”
he asked.
Mr Koduah Frimpong announced this during the acclamation of Mr Samuel
Abu Jinapor as the parliamentary candidate of Damongo in the Savannah Region on
Saturday.
He was
hopeful that the free and fair internal party elections would yield fruitful
results in the December 7 polls.
Mr Koduah Frimpong called for
unity among the rank and file of the party to ensure a resounding victory in
December, saying; “A divided front can never win an election”.
The acclamation ceremony also
saw the launch of the Damongo Constituency and the Savannah Region campaigns of
the Party for the 2024 Election.
Mr Jinapor, the Minister of
Lands and Natural Resources, for the past four years, has impacted his
constituents with infrastructure projects and social interventions to alleviate
poverty among his people.
For
instance, he facilitated the construction of an astroturf, a community centre,
a 15-kilometre asphalt road, and 15 community boreholes and provided
educational materials to the pupils.
The MP also paid the tuition
fees of 300 students from the constituency enrolled in some tertiary
institutions across the country, while providing financial and technical
support to women groups engaged in small and medium-scale enterprises to expand
their businesses.
The parliamentary candidate of
the NPP called for unity among the party’s rank and file and said with unity
and tenacity of purpose, they could retain the seat with a bigger margin on
December 7.
Mr Jinapor, in his acceptance speech, said Dr Bawumia had a vision for the
nation that aligned with the fourth Industrial Revolution – ICT and
digitisation – which the world’s economy was gearing towards.
He criticized the NDC
Flagbearer for failure to resolve the power outages during his presidency and
asked how far the much-touted “24-hour economy” policy could go in support of
Ghanaians.
