The Member of Parliament for Akuapem South, Mr. Osei Bonsu Amoah, has thrown his weight behind Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the governing New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) prime contender in the forthcoming 2024 general election.
He said Dr. Bawumia has become the choice and toast of the NPP faithful as a result of his proven record, intellectual prowess, leadership skills and deep commitment to the progress of the governing party.
Speaking at Aburi during Vice President’s campaign tour of the Akuapem South Constituency, Mr. O. B. Amoah described Dr. Bawumia as an exceptional figure within the NPP, second only to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in experience.
He commended Bawumia’s calm demeanour, eloquent speech, and exceptional emotional intelligence.
These factors, according to Mr. O. B. Amoah who is also a Minister of State at the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, make Dr. Bawumia the ideal candidate to secure victory for the governing party in the 2024 general election.
“Dr. Bawumia is not temperamental and does not get angry easily. He does his things with the right precision and prefers to listen to everybody’s point of view at meetings before making a suggestion,” Amoah stated.
He further emphasized Bawumia’s ability to articulate his ideas and attract supporters to the NPP through his well-spoken demeanour.
The Member of Parliament assured constituents that on August 26th, he and the constituency chairman would represent their interests at NPP’s super delegates conference in Koforidua.
He further expressed the commitment of the Akuapem South Constituency to vote for Dr. Bawumia as the party’s flagbearer in the general Congress.
“You the NPP grassroots are sending those of us who are part of the super delegates to Koforidua to choose the five candidates who will contest in the primaries in November 2023 and ultimately to elect the one who will be our presidential candidate.
“When I take a look at the energy, the excitement and the enthusiasm you are displaying here, it is clear that you the NPP grassroots are sending those of us who are part of the super delegates to select the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, that is the clear message you have given to us.
“We will also not disappoint you, so on 26th August, you will hear that it is not only Akuapem South MP and Chairman who have voted for Bawumia but the whole of Ghana chose him,” Mr. O. B. Amoah told ecstatic party delegates.
He believes that results would reflect the broad support Dr. Bawumia will garner across the nation.
He expressed optimism that Dr. Bawumia’s leadership would be instrumental in securing the party’s triumph in the upcoming elections.
