We have performed in every sector of the economy than NDC – Bawumia
9th July 2024
Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that the Akufo-Addo has performed in every sector of the economy than the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Bawumia touted his achievement as the most effective Vice President in the history of the Fourth Republic.
“We have performed better in every sector of the economy than the NDC,” he said during the unveiling of his running mate Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh in Kumasi on Tuesday, July 9.
Also speaking at the event, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo said that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama will not be given any chance to win the 2024 general elections.
He says that a president who was rejected in his second attempt to be reelected should not be allowed again to come close to the corridors of power.
He referred to Former President Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kuffuor as well as himself who all served Ghana for two terms.
With Mr. Mahama’s one-term presidency, President Akufo-Addo said, he should not be allowed to come back again.
“We will not allow him,” President Akufo-Addo said during the unveiling of Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as Dr Bawumia’s running mate.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo further expressed confidence in the ability of the Bawumia-Opoku Prempeh ticket to deliver on the job to the expectations of Ghanaians.
Unveiling the flagbearer of the NPP and the running mate at an earlier event at the Manhyia Palace, on Tuesday, July 9, Mr Akufo-Addo said he has worked with the two gentlemen and can therefore vouched for their hard work qualities.
“I have trust and confidence in the two of them to do the work. I have worked with the two and I know that they can do. I know that on the 7th of December when Ghanaians have given them the mandate they will work to meet the expectations of Ghana,” President Akufo-Addo said.
The National Council of the NPP unanimously endorsed the selection of Dr Opku Prempeh at an emergency meeting in Accra last week Thursday, July 4.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh after the event assured members and supporters of the NPP that he will help Dr Bawumia to prosecute a formidable 2024 campaign to break the 8-year election cycle.
He says he understands that the task ahead requires the collective effort. He further called upon all members of the NPP to join hands to collectively strive to achieve their ‘ambitious goal of transforming Ghana into a prosperous nation’.
“I express my gratitude to the National Council, the rank-and-file of our party and our esteemed President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for their unwavering support and faith in me,” he said in a statement immediately after the National Council of the NPP unanimously endorsed him as the running mate on Thursday, July 3.
