Accra, Oct. 29, GNA -The Vice President, and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says his campaign tours across the country have emboldened his confidence that the NPP will win resoundingly in the December polls.
He said the electorate has trust in the NPP government’s policies because it had redeemed the promises it made to the people in the 2020 elections.
“Inshalla, Inshalla, Inshalla, the NPP will win the December 7 Election,” Dr Bawumia said during a mini rally at the Okaishie Market in the Odododiodio Constituency of the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday.
He mentioned the Free Senior High School (FSHS) programme, which the government has fulfilled as a classic example.
He said the opposition NDC viewed the FSHS policy as an “impossibility”, however, the NPP government defied all odds to implement it.
Dr Bawumia said if given the mandate in the December 7 polls, his administration would implement the flat rate tax system and Women Trade Empowerment Programme to bring relief to traders and the business community.
The NPP Flagbearer visited the Mamprobi Tuesday Market and interacted with traders as part of his meet-and-greet session.
Dr Bawumia was accompanied by Mr Stephen Ntim, the National Chairman of the Party; Mr Samuel Sarbah Lartey, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Ablekuma South and other constituency executives of the NPP.
The NPP Flagbearer was warmly received by the market women, amid shouts and cheers of “It’s Possible” and “Number One”.
From Mamprobi Tuesday Market, Dr Bawumia went to Makola 31st December Market in the Odododiodio Constituency, where he shook hands with traders and warmly embraced them.
Some of the traders who were holding NPP paraphernalia and souvenirs waved to them happily, and enthusiastically, with shouts: “Dr Bawumia is Number One, it’s possible, Free SHS, Agenda 111, among other accolades.
The NPP Flagbearer and his entourage also went to the Kantamanto Market in the Central Business District of Accra where most of the traders sell second-hand clothes.
The “meet-and-greet” session has become a prominent feature of Dr Bawumia’s campaign, where he uses the opportunity to talk to potential voters in Ghana’s general polls on December 7, 2024, directly, and exchange pleasantries with them.
The meet-and-greet session was briefly interrupted by the rains around 11:10 hours when the NPP Flagbearer got to the Okaishie Market.
The NPP Flagbearer continued his campaign despite the rains and visited the Party’s Campaign Call Centre at Ridge to interact with people via phone conversations.
The Call Centre was set up by the Bawumia Campaign Team as a platform to explain its policies to the electorate via telephone calls.
At all the market centres, Dr Bawumia visited the traders and by-standers welcomed him warmly, acknowledging some of the Akufo-Addo-led government’s policies and social interventions.
