The Member of Parliament for Okere Constituency, Dan Botwe, says after analysing the current situation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the country, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the best person to be elected the party’s flagbearer among the ten aspirants.
Addressing party stakeholders in the the Okere Constituency on Sunday as part of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Dan Botwe, who is a former General Secretary of the NPP, said he knows and loves the other aspirants, but with his wealth of experience in the party, electing Dr. Bawumia as flagbearer is the best strategic decision for the party.
“Since we started this flagbearership campaign, I have not spoken,” he said.
“But today I will speak. I was elected General Secretary of the NPP 25 years ago. I have had experience working under several stalwarts of the Party. I know the NPP very well. I know very well all the 10 people contesting. But I am here at Okere saying this. That anyone who knows me knows that I speak the truth and you cannot influence me with anything,” Dan Botwe opened up.
“I love all the aspirants, but I love the NPP more. My friends in the NPP, if we look at what is happening in Ghana and NPP now, we are looking into the future. Based on my knowledge of the Party and judging from what is happening, I want to say and ask all of you to go and vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
Dr. Bawumia started his tour of the Eastern Region on Sunday.
