The former Majority Leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and long-serving Member of Parliament for the Suame Constituency, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has publicly endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the most qualified candidate to lead the party into the next general elections. Speaking on Orange Sunrise with Alfa Ali, he commended Dr. Bawumia’s exemplary leadership and distinguished service, asserting that these qualities set him apart from other aspirants.
He emphasized that, Dr. Bawumia’s extensive experience, particularly his eight-year tenure as Vice President, has equipped him with a deep understanding of governance and national development. He further praised Dr. Bawumia’s humility, intellectual acumen, and economic expertise, describing them as essential attributes for any leader committed to transforming Ghana.
Addressing concerns that religious affiliation may have influenced Dr. Bawumia’s previous electoral performance, the MP firmly rejected the notion. He shared findings from his own informal survey, stating that voters he interacted with did not consider religion a factor in their decisions.
“I went out to ask people who decided not to vote, whether the decision was made because of his religion, but not even a single person said they voted against or decided not to vote because of his religion. The loss happened due to poor governance and the disappointment they faced from us,” he explained.
Concluding his remarks, the former Majority Leader reaffirmed his unwavering support for Dr. Bawumia, expressing confidence in his ability to unify the NPP and lead Ghana toward sustainable progress. He urged party members and the broader electorate to rally behind Dr. Bawumia’s vision, emphasizing that his leadership offers a promising path forward for both the party and the nation.
