By The New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, asserts that the proactive campaign approach of engaging voters directly, from door to door and window to window, to highlight his government’s accomplishments, is a potent strategy to end the incumbent’s eight-year tenure.
In his pursuit to garner support for the December elections, Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) nominee, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, pledges unwavering commitment to the electorate, promising continuous dedication if elected as President.
Addressing attendees at the “It is Possible Mega Easter Walk and Mini Rally” in Kwahu on Saturday, March 30, 2024, Dr. Bawumia underscored the significance of vigorous campaigning to disrupt the traditional eight-year cycle of power transition.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the disparity between his strategy and that of his rival, John Mahama, asserting that he won’t indulge in a honeymoon phase upon assuming office, as he intends to seek reelection in 2028.
He urged the attendees to campaign vigorously, emphasizing the importance of going door-to-door and house-to-house to share the NPP’s achievements with the electorate.
“Unlike Mahama, he wants a honeymoon after being elected, he won’t come back again so he won’t mind you. As for me, I’ll come back in 2028 so I would ensure I do my best for you all. So everyone must campaign very well as stated earlier. Today, we are going door to door, house to house to campaign to bring victory. It is possible, we are going to break the eight.”
He also addressed concerns regarding excavator burning and national service, stating that the party will focus on implementing effective policies rather than burning miners’ equipment.
Dr. Bawumia clarified that National Service will no longer be mandatory, allowing those who find employment upon graduation to forego the service.
“National Service is no longer going to be mandatory. If you complete school and you get a job, go for it, you don’t need national service. Unlike Mahama who is bringing old solutions, not bold solutions. He’s bring failed solutions.”
Meanwhile, Abetifi Constituency MP and Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Yaw Acheampong, expressed optimism that Ghanaians would not base their votes solely on the present economic difficulties.
He believes that the situation will improve before the elections, enabling the NPP to secure a significant number of votes.
