Bawumia frenzy sweeps through Eastern Region: Akwatia, Kade and Asene Manso Akroso latest to show love

There have been more emphatic endorsements for former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the Eastern Region, as he continues his campaign tour of the region.

Bawumia, who has been engaging with NPP delegates and members in the region for about a week now, has enjoyed public endorsements from key groups and influential stalwarts in most of the constituencies he has visited so far, and that encouraging spectre continued on Sunday when he toured four constituencies: Kade, Akwatia, Akroso Asene Manso and Lower West Akim.

In each constituency visited, Bawumia was given a rousing welcome, as well as given endorsements, which speakers described as "the will of the people.' From constituency chairmen, MPs, former parliamentary candidates and others, Bawumia was shown open support which would surely uplift him with two months to go for the NPP's January 31st presidential primaries.

AKWATIA CONSTITUENCY

In Akwatia, where Dr. Bawumia received a rousing welcome from the delegates, the constituency chairmen, on behalf of his peoople, assured Dr. Bawumia of their continuous support.

"Two years ago, we gave you nearly 68%. No one coerced us to vote for you. And now, when we look at your commitment, your message and your hardwork, I believe the 68% you had in 2023 will even increase to 86% by January 31st in January, to honour you," the Chairman said.

"So here in Akwatia, we are determined to vote for you massively. Not only that, we want you to win and be President so we are also determined to work very hard to ensure that."

The NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the recent Akwatia by election, reiterated the Chairman's support, adding that the Constituency will reciprocate the strong support Bawumia offered them during the recent by election.

"On this journey youre embarking, we kbow know you'll be victorious at the end of it by the grace of God," said the parliamentary candidate.

"I am the latest victim in election and I know what it takes to go into an election, give your all and not win. Let me acknowledge the immense support Dr. Bawumia offered us during the recent by election. He gave us all the support but we just could not make it. So I want to urge you all to continue to support Dr. Bawumia as we have all resolved to."

"Other candidates have been here but we know what you bring on board so we have resolved to support you to lead the party to victory. We pray for God's favours upon you so that you emerge victorious, with our support as part of the success," said the candidate.

Former Akwatia MP, Ama Sey, also added her voice by declaring Bawumia as the best to lead the NPP.

"My brothers and sisters, the situation we are in requires that we continue to back Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia," she said.

"Ghanaians don't normally like changes and when they are used to someone and you change the person, there is always a problem . Ghanaians always want to see the one they know and assess him and then with time, they will accept him. So I am appealing to all of you not to be deceived and change. Let us continue to support Dr. Bawumia," said Ama Sey.

"Across the country, I have gone around with him and I have to say that everywhere, people are calling for Dr. Bawumia to be elected as our Flagbearer and then Ghanaians will also listen to us."

In Kade, the party faithful demonstrated their strong support in their welcome, and the Constituency chairman spoke to convey they constituencies support.

"Kade Constituency is always with Bawumia. We were with him yesterday and we will continue to be with him. I am not the one saying my people should vote for Bawumia.. The constituency is already behind Bawumia," he said.

"The MP is also with Dr. Bawumia so I know that together, you'll all vote for Bawumia. To all of us here in Kade: polling station, coordinators, former executives, council of elders and current executives, if we areally want power, let us all, come January 31, vote massively for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia."

ASENE MANSO AKROSO

In Aseme Manso Akroso Constituency, the Chairman, Kojo Effah, led his constituencies delegates to a repeated chorus of "Bawumia no change, Bawumia no change" before speaking highly of the former Vice President and their support for him.

We are here for you and after you have left us with your positive message, we will continue to work very hard for you.
