Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer, has urged Ghanaians to embrace his vision and fresh ideas for transformation.
He emphasized that former President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lack the modern policies needed to improve citizens’ lives. Bawumia argued that with only four years remaining for Mahama, accountability would be lacking, whereas he himself would remain accountable, seeking a new mandate for another term.
Addressing a joint community connect at Atomic Park in Accra last Thursday, Dr. Bawumia criticized the outdated practices of “rearing chicken and operating a 24-hour nightclub” in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, suggesting that a vote for Mahama and the NDC would be a step backward.
As part of his possibilities tour, Dr. Bawumia visited the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency to promote his message of “bold solutions” for transforming the country. He engaged with chiefs, queen mothers, imams, clergy, and key opinion leaders from the 18 electoral areas of the constituency.
Following his visit, he interacted with constituents at the Kwabenya tipper truck and taxi rank and joined other party leaders for a community connect at Atomic Park near the Atomic roundabout. Dr. Bawumia also pledged to prioritize security, promising to install 50,000 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in regional and district capitals to enhance crime tracking and support security agencies.
Additionally, he shared plans to simplify public services through digitalization, making processes like acquiring passports and driver’s licenses more efficient.
Other speakers at the event included the Minister for Fisheries, Hawa Koomson; former NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong; Minister of Education, Yaw Osei Adutwum; Minister of Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong; and the NPP parliamentary aspirant for Dome-Kwabenya, Michael Aaron Oquaye Jnr. They addressed the enthusiastic crowd, urging them to support the continuation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy introduced by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo under a Bawumia presidency.
