It was all joy as the Manhyia South Constituency delegates welcomed the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, one of the Presidential hopefuls as he begins his Ashanti region tour.
This was disclosed on the Minister for Energy, Hon. Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s Facebook wall page.
According to him, “It was all joy and ecstasy as NPP delegates of Manhyia South, my beloved constituency, met His Excellency the Vice President, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at the Apostolic Church, Ash Town, earlier this EVENING”.
The Energy Minister who is also the Member of Parliament for the Constituency averred that, His Excellency the Vice President, in line with the democratic tenets of the party, came to make a case for why delegates must rally behind him ahead of the Special Electoral College Elections in August and ultimately, the National Congress in November this year.
“In my remarks, I acknowledged the sterling qualities, experience and sacrifices of Dr. Bawumia for our party which makes him our best foot in the quest at clinching a 3rd term electoral victory in 2024 which has become known in our party parlance as “Breaking the 8”.
He indicated that, delegates in Manhyia South, believe that, he has served well as Vice President, defending the programmes and policies of NPP government and remains the only existential threat to the electoral fortunes of John Mahama and the NDC, of all the candidates vying for the flagbearership slot.
“Whilst we wish Dr. Bawumia well, as he campaigns across the 47 constituencies of the Ashanti region, Manhyia South reiterates its unflinching support for him to lead the party to make history in our country’s electoral politics and democracy.
