Without a doubt, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is the best person for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to beat the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 elections, a member of the Bawumia campaign team Dennis Miracles Aboagye has said.
He stated that the NPP needs a candidate who can beat John Mahama.
To that end, he said, a SWOT (Strenght, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) analysis done on Mr Mahama makes Dr Bawumia the best person to be elected flagbearer of the NPP.
“Without a doubt, that is why you see that swelling support that the.party people are giving to Dr Bawumia,” Miracles Aboagye said on the Ghana Tonight show on Tv3 Friday August 25.
The NPP will be reducing the number of flagbearer aspirants from ten to five in the super delegates Congress which will take place today Saturday August 26.
All the ten aspirants are Kennedy Agyapong, Alan Kyerematen, Joe Gartey, Kwadwo Poku, Dr Afriyie Akoto, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Francis Addai Nimoh, Dr Kofi Kunadu Apraku, Boakye Agyarko and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Ahead of the super delegates congress, the NPP leadership warned all delegates that publicly displaying cast ballots constitutes a criminal offense.
The party served notice that those who violate this provision shall be subjected to legal repercussions in accordance with the law.
“Delegates are hereby informed that any cast ballots publicly displayed will be rejected,” a statement issued by the Presidential Election Committee on Thursday, August 24 said.
It added “We wish to further emphasize that there will be no congress on the day of voting, and voting will be strictly walk-in.
“Considering this, it is anticipated that there will be no provision for a public address or occasion for any National Party Executive, government representative, or regional executive to publicly address delegates on the day of the voting.
“We wish to reassure all relevant parties, including stakeholders, delegates, aspirants, and the public that with these guidelines in place, no individual can decipher the voting preferences and patterns of specific voters after the voting process concludes. This measure guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of the voting exercise.”
