Member of Parliament for Sekondi Constituency Andrew Egyapa Mercer has indicated that delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will on Saturday, November 4 overwhelmingly endorse the Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia.
Speaking in an interview with Wofa Ato, the sit-in-host of Connect FM’s Omanbapa morning show, the Deputy Energy Minister indicated that Dr. Bawumia will secure 90 percent of the votes whilst Kennedy Agyapong and the rest of the candidates will share the remaining 10 percent.
He adds that Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia currently stands tall among the candidates and he is better placed to manage the affairs of the country than any other person.
“It is an endorsement for Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia,” he stressed.
“We are going to endorse him, he will secure 90 percent of the votes and the rest will share the remaining 10 percent. I’m expecting delegates to give the vice president an overwhelming victory.
“We have spoken to the delegates and we expect them to elect someone who has the capacity to lead the party and that person is the vice president, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia,” he indicated.
Speaking about the presence of Mr. Agyapong in the race, lawyer Egyapa Mercer indicated that he is not the best candidate to lead the party in the 2024 election.
“We are not shaken by the presence of Kennedy Agyapong. We have equally seen the huge crowd of delegates following the Vice President. Kennedy Agyapong is my main man but I don’t think he is the right person to lead the party in 2024.
“We cannot say that there are no challenges in the country, but the best person to manage these challenges properly cannot be Kennedy Agyapong. I do not have any doubt in my mind that Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia can best manage the affairs of the country and win the 2024 election for the NPP,” he added.
