Meanwhile, Dr Bawumia had touted the presidential ticket of the Party, describing himself and that of Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh as a combination of the “youth, innovators and generational thinkers”.
He said the NPP Presidential ticket was the sure bet to catapult the country to higher heights in terms of development.
“We are superior in performance to the NDC’s record in areas of road infrastructure, railways, education, health, digitisation, among others,” Dr Bawumia stated.
Dr Bawumia said the NPP’s Presidential ticket was a well-oiled machine to lead the Party to resounding victory in the December 7 Election.
Dr Bawumia expressed confidence in his running-mate to complement his efforts in securing victory for the NPP, saying;” I have high respect for Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh…he is a problem-solver, a generational thinker and I have absolute confidence in him”.
