The Presidential Candidate and the leader of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on Thursday inaugurated the 2024 National Campaign Team and the Manifesto Committee of the Party respectively.
The campaign team is chaired by the immediate past Minister of Local Government, Decentralisation and Rural Development, Dan Kwaku Botwe, with the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, as Chairman of the Manifesto Committee.
Speaking at the inauguration in Accra on Thursday, Dr Bawumia called for unity among the rank and file within the party so that every member can play a part in the party’s quest to win this year’s general election.
He said the party had the vision and the ideas, while the necessary ingredients to win the elections were in place, and that the only element needed to propel the party to victory was unity.
In addition, he said, all the past and current party executives would be part.
“We have over 40,000 polling stations, and we want activities in all these stations, and so we want the entire membership fully involved in the campaign,” he said.
Dr Bawumia said the party’s record was solid and its vision had been clearly laid out for everyone to see.
He said the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on the other hand, had a blurred vision and did not know where they wanted to take the country.
He accused the NPP’s main opposition of stealing the governing party’s ideas and announcing promises that had already been implemented.
“They want to do free WiFi in senior high schools (SHSs); someone should tell them it has already been done.
A little research and they would’ve known that they are promising things we have already done.
“So you can see that we have the best message, we have the vision and we have the record.
As I listened to the President during his address yesterday, it was very clear that our government has outperformed the NDC’s government in every single sector.
I can’t see one sector where they have outperformed us,” Dr Bawumia said.
