Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dormaa West Constituency, Mr. Kwame Owusu, has expressed unwavering confidence in the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a leader well-positioned to secure victory in the upcoming general elections.
Mr. Owusu made the remarks during Dr. Bawumia’s visit to Dormaa West as part of his regional tour of Bono. He commended the former Vice President for his composed and mature approach to political discourse, particularly in the face of criticism. According to Mr. Owusu, Dr. Bawumia’s emphasis on unity and national development sets him apart from his political rivals.
“Dr. Bawumia’s campaign conduct reflects a deep understanding of leadership. He refrains from engaging in political insults because he recognizes the importance of national unity after the elections,” Mr. Owusu stated.
Reflecting on the party’s internal dynamics prior to Dr. Bawumia’s selection as flagbearer, Mr. Owusu noted that morale within the NPP was low. He credited Dr. Bawumia’s leadership with revitalizing the party’s confidence and electoral prospects.
“To be candid, the party was fragmented before Dr. Bawumia’s election. Had elections been held then, we might not have secured even 20 percent of the vote,” he remarked.
Mr. Owusu also praised the national executives for organizing an early congress, which he believes has provided the flagbearer with ample time to engage with the electorate and strengthen campaign efforts.
“We appreciate the foresight of the party’s leadership in holding an early congress. It has given Dr. Bawumia the opportunity to prepare thoroughly and connect with voters across the country,” he said.
He concluded by urging party members to remain united and dedicated as the campaign progresses, emphasizing that collective effort will be essential to achieving electoral success.
