Winning hearts and minds
The NPP presidential candidate, Dr. Bawumia, has been on a mission to win the hearts and minds of Ghanaians, as he campaigns across the country for the presidency.
He has christened his campaign “Bold Solutions for Our Future,” focusing on three pillars namely -The Battle of ideas and character, The battle of records and The Battel of effective campaign.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign has been issues-based, tackling cogent, practical and tailor-made ideas to deal with matters dear to the Ghanaian people.

Dr. Bawumia’s message of possibility and bold solutions has been endorsed by many Ghanaians, who believe that he has the vision, leadership skills, and experience to transform the country.
Again, his message of unity and purpose has resonated with many Ghanaians, who are tired of the divisive politics of the past.
“Together, with unity of purpose, it is Possible to achieve the Ghanaian dream of accelerated development,” Dr. Bawumia tweeted after his campaign tour of Greater Accra region.
Greater Accra tour
Dr. Bawumia rounded up his campaign tour of the constituencies in the Greater Accra Region on Friday, visiting the Ayawaso West Wuogon, Madina, and Adentan constituencies.
The NPP flagbearer and his team engaged with Ghanaians from all walks of life, listening to their aspirations and concerns, while also explaining his bold solutions for Ghana’s next chapter.
From markets to container shops to lorry stations, Dr. Bawumia met with food vendors, seamstresses, and other traders, who shared their hopes and dreams for a better Ghana.
The Vice President’s campaign message of “It is Possible” has resonated with many Ghanaians, who are yearning for a leader who can transform the country’s economy and improve their living standards.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign has also focused on his achievements as Vice President, including his role in the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, health, the digitalization of the economy, and the stabilisation of the macro-economy.
Vision for future
The NPP presidential candidate has outlined his vision for the country’s future, including his plans to transform the economy, improve healthcare and education, and create jobs for the youth.
As the campaign season heats up, Dr. Bawumia is expected to continue to crisscross the country, engaging with voters and sharing his message of hope and transformation.
With his campaign message of “It is Possible,” Dr. Bawumia is poised to make a strong impression on the electorate and win their votes in the presidential election.
NDC’s threat
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign is not without its challenges as the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been critical of the NPP’s record in government, and has promised to do better if elected.
However, Dr. Bawumia remains confident that his message of hope and transformation will resonate with Ghanaians, and that he will emerge victorious in the December 7 polls.
‘Ghanaians should trust NPP’
Dr. Bawumia has urged Ghanaians to trust the governing NPP to deliver on its 2024 manifesto promises as it has an enviable track record of performance.
Speaking at a recent media engagement in Accra, the Vice President revealed that the NPP has fulfilled 83% and 80% promises of its 2016 and 2020 manifestos respectively.
