Campaign coordinator for Dr. Bawumia, Lawyer Sammy Awuku, has noted that Dr. Bawumia is the first Presidential aspirant to have emerged victorious in the party’s internal election easily on his first attempt.
He notes that right from Professor Adu Boahen through to President Akufo-Addo, none of them had it easy on their first attempt. They were faced with a lot of challenges, but there narrative is different with Dr. Alhaji Bawumia who was declared winner during last Saturday’s flagbearership race.
“We had our own projections about the election…we were looking forward to garnering about seventy per cent of the total valid vote cast. However, party delegates gave us 61%. The power belongs to them and no one can play with them. It’s extremely thrilling to have someone contesting for the first time win marginally…although our expectations were not met, we are most grateful to the delegates…Dr, Bawumia must be proud of himself”, he said.
He further advised Ghanaians and especially member of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), to remain united and work hard to ensure that NPP is able win the 2024 elections, in other to continue the good work the party has started
