Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has made a significant step in his quest to lead the New Patriotic Party before the 2024 elections, by picking up nomination forms.
Together with former National Organiser Sammy Awuku, former vice chairman of the NPP Fred Oware collected the documents on behalf of the vice president.
Dr. Bawumia announced his intention to run for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership in November to party supporters in the Volta Region on Monday.
The Vice President has for months failed to publicly declare his intention to contest for the flagbearership slot of the party, though close aides have told OilCity Radio he will run for the race.
A group known as the ‘Bawumia Fan Club’ on May 26, also picked up the presidential nomination forms for the Vice President.
Dr Bawumia, according to the group led by its founder, Ntim Jakari, deserves to be given the nod to lead the NPP in order to help the party break the 8 and retain power in the 2024 elections. The group then paid the GH50,000 nomination fee on behalf of the flagbearer candidate.
During an informal meeting of NPP supporters in Hohoe over the weekend.
Dr. Bawumia expressed his commitment to leading the party to victory in the 2024 election.
He expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and reaffirmed his determination to secure the flagbearership, end the eight-year cycle, and take office at Jubilee House.
“I want you to know how much I appreciate your help. We’re going to smash the 8. First and foremost, we will file for the flagbearership, which I will do, win the flagbearership, break the 8, and go to Jubilee House. That is exactly what I intend to do,” he stated.
