Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a flagbearer candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has pleaded with delegates to support him in order to lead the party and ultimately win the 2024 presidential elections.
He claimed that because of his significant contributions to Ghana’s growth, he should receive support for the NPP leadership and that he has provided his services for the country’s change.
Addressing delegates and party faithful in Donkorkrom, Afram Plains North constituency over the weekend, Dr. Bawumia said: “I am always driven by public service, not the desire for personal gains.
“It is the reason I am offering myself, first to be elected flagbearer of our party, and then I can offer myself to the people of Ghana so that I can continue to contribute towards the transformation of our country.”
As Vice President, Dr. Bawumia said he has done so much for Ghana.
“I have not been president, but as Vice President, I have worked so hard and contributed significantly to the development of our country through landmark policies I have initiated and spearheaded,” he added.
