With less than two months to go for the 2024 elections, the campaign of Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has gathered an incredible momentum across the country.
From the North to South, East to West, Dr. Bawumia’s campaign has drawn huge numbers in every Region and constituency he has visited so far since he started his latest tour of the country.
Noticeably, majority of the mammoth crowds for Bawumia has been mostly young people who throng his evening community connect programmes in their numbers and with majority of registered voters being the youth, that is an encouraging sign for the Bawumia campaign.
In many places Bawumia has visited, these enthusiastic young crowd often display remarkable affection for him by either waiting for him several hours to welcome him or defying endless rains.
In Abuakwa in the Eastern Region, Chereponi in the North East Region, Amenfi in the Western Region and just last weekend in Wenchi in the Bono Region and many other places, supporters have had to stay in the rains with Dr. Bawumia, hence exhibiting their love and support for him.
All Round Support
Bawumia’s popularity has not only been with the youth as at his meet and greet sessions on the streets, lorry stations, markets and surprise visits to homes, he has received tremendous support from market women, drivers and the general public who often lay the red carpet for him.
At his stakeholder engagements where he meets Chiefs, Imams, Pastors and community leaders, Dr. Bawumia has been receiving massive applause from traditional rulers and religious leaders for both his distinct character and impact.
Almost every traditional ruler he called upon has had complimentary words, highlighting his hardwork, humility and his relentless commitment to supporting the Akufo-Addo government.
While Imams and Zongo Chiefs have been expressing their appreciation to him for the support he has been offering them, Pastors alike have been commending him for his remarkable spirit of diversity and vision.
Development Projects
Just as Bawumia has been receiving commendations, the government of Nana Akufo-Addo of which he served as Vice President since 2017 has also been receiving words of commendations from traditional rulers for what they often describe as impactful and timely social interventions.
Across the country during the stakeholders meetings, traditional rulers have been expressing their utmost appreciation to the government, pointing to specific infrastructure projects in their communities in addition to the impact of Free SHS and the DRIP machines for renovation of community roads.
Outside Bawumia’s own campaign tours, other campaign activities, especially in the form of “walks for Bawumia” across the country, have been attracting huge numbers in support of the Vice President.
In Tamale, for instance, which used to be a stronghold of the NDC, the NPP pulled stunning numbers over the weekend in the city during a “walk for Bawumia” exercise.
As the campaign heats up, Bawumia has showed remarkable energy and hardwork in his approach and with less than two months to go, his popularity is evidently on the rise across the country.
