The wife of the Vice President, Samira Bawumia, has made a passionate appeal to voters to promote her husband and Presidential Candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the next President of Ghana.
Speaking to voters during her Ashanti regional campaign tour, Mrs Bawumia argued that her husband's success as Vice President, despite the constitutional limits on his role, is a testament to his leadership abilities and makes him the ideal candidate for the top job.
She says a vote for Dr Bawumia will unleash the country’s potential going through digitalization and job creation.
Hajia Samira Bawumia started her Ashanti Regional campaign tour with an engagement with the Muslim and Zongo communities in the Offinso Constituency.
The campaign is to strengthen the party’s base in the region with a focus on securing victory in the December 7 polls.
Addressing voters, Samira Bawumia emphasized that her husband's success as Vice President has been evident in the many development projects he has championed.
“Bawumia is intelligent and has bold solutions. He has several initiatives like the women's fund and the SME Bank. He is also introducing the 1 million digital jobs. Bawumia as vice president has served well with several ideas” she said.
She appealed to voters to vote for Dr Bawumia as a reward for his achievements as Vice President.
“There have been several Vice Presidents but Dr Bawumia stands out. His work is unprecedented. The constitution gives him no power but he has succeeded. You named him Mr Digital so he has digital solutions” she added.
Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako urged voters to protect policies introduced by the party by voting for Dr Bawumia.
“If there is a change of government, developmental projects stall. So all our projects will stall if you vote for Mahama. If he wins, he intends to cancel Free SHS” he said.
The tour is expected to end on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.
