The NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, advocates for an assertive campaign strategy, emphasizing the effectiveness of engaging directly with voters to convey his government’s achievements and break the ‘8’ cycle.
It was during the “It is Possible Mega Easter Walk and Mini Rally” in Kwahu on Saturday, March 30, 2024. Bawumia assured Ghanaians of his relentless commitment to serving if elected as President and break the eight year term cycle.
Drawing a contrast with his opponent, John Mahama, Bawumia underscored his intention to eschew a post-election honeymoon period, expressing his readiness to run for re-election in 2028.
He encouraged those present to engage in vigorous campaigning to convey the accomplishments of the NPP.
“Unlike Mahama, he wants a honeymoon after being elected, he won’t come back again so he won’t mind you. As for me, I’ll come back in 2028 so I would ensure I do my best for you all. So everyone must campaign very well as stated earlier. Today, we are going door to door to campaign to bring victory. It is possible, we are going to break the eight.”
He further tackled issues concerning excavator burning and national service, affirming the party’s commitment to prioritizing the implementation of constructive policies over resorting to the destruction of miners’ equipment.
Dr. Bawumia specified that National Service would no longer be compulsory for graduates.
“National Service is no longer going to be mandatory. If you complete school and you get a job, go for it, you don’t need national service. Unlike Mahama who is bringing old solutions, not bold solutions. He’s bring failed solutions.”
Dr. Bryan Yaw Acheampong, the MP for Abetifi Constituency and Minister for Food and Agriculture expressed optimism that Ghanaians wouldn’t cast their votes solely on prevailing economic difficulties.
He is confident that the economic conditions will ameliorate before the elections, ensuring that the NPP garners a substantial number of votes.
