Asuakwaa (Bono), Nov. 10, GNA – Ms Salamatu Abdulai, Sunyani East Constituency Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged women in the party to actively project the image and political credentials of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s 2028 presidential candidate.
She advised them to focus less on criticising the government and instead highlight Dr Bawumia’s potential, experience and track record to make him more appealing and popular among the electorate.
Ms Abdulai also cautioned the women to remain vigilant and exercise restraint in their political activities to avoid falling victim to what she described as attempts by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to use state security agencies to intimidate and silence the NPP.
She gave the advice during separate interactions with NPP women organisers at Asuakwaa, New-Dormaa, Kuotokrom and Yahima as part of her tour of the 34 electoral areas in the constituency.
She said the NPP could secure more votes and win the 2028 general election if its women supporters and members remained focused and effectively communicated the achievements and policies of the previous Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.
Ms Abdulai was accompanied by Ms Vera Gyabaah, Sunyani East Deputy Women’s Organiser of the NPP, and other party faithful.
She told the women that an effective political campaign required them to reach out directly to voters in their homes and communicate the NPP’s records and the credentials of its flagbearer.
Ms Abdulai said an active house-to-house campaign remained a key political strategy of the party, urging the women to embrace it.
“We must all use that strategy if we desire to come back to political power in 2028,” she said.
She expressed optimism that unity of purpose, collective commitment and a strong sense of political ownership would enable the women organisers to work diligently and mobilise more votes for Dr Bawumia to win the presidential election.
Ms Abdulai said there were indications that the NPP could recapture the Sunyani East parliamentary seat from the NDC, and urged the women to remain confident and actively participate in the party’s political activities in the constituency.
