We Have To Make This Party Stronger For Next Generation Bawumia Tells NPP Faithfuls

NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has charged the rank and file of his party to commit to their obligation to making the New Patriotic Party a stronger force, particularly for the next generation.

Addressing NPP Upper West Regional stakeholders in Wa on Monday, December 4, 2023, Dr. Bawumia called on all the party folks to exercise their responsibility through hard work towards fortifying the NPP and ensuring it becomes victorious in both parliamentary and presidential elections next year.

"We are all temporary custodians of the party in our position; whether you are a flagbearer or a polling station executive." 

"Because we are all temporary custodians of the party, you want to build the party and hand it over stronger to the next generation", Dr. Bawumia said.

Dr. Bawumia emphasized the need for unity among the party members, stating "the election in 2024 is much about our internal unity as it is with our battle with the NDC. That's why I'm trying to make sure I bring all those who contested with me together because everybody who wants to lead this party has something that they want to offer".

"We want to bring them in. I am not somebody who will say you did not support me so I am not going to talk to you to support the party. I'm so happy we have many people who think about the party more than themselves. One of such persons, who is here with us is Mr. Kwabena Agyapong", he accentuated.

Dr. Bawumia therefore urged both winners and losers of the NPP parliamentary primaries in orphan constituencies across the country to come together and collectively face next year's parliamentary elections.

"By the nature of elections, only one person will emerge the winner out of the many good people who contest. Just as the flagbearership, contest, only one person emerged winner of the many good people who contested", the Vice President advised.

He added; "To win, we need unity across from polling station level to national. Once we are united, we will win both the parliamentary and presidential elections because the NPP is the natural governing majority in Ghana if you look at the data."

Dr. Bawumia's delegation included the National Chairman of the NPP, Stephen Ayensu Ntim, the party's former General Secretary, Kwabena Adjei Agyapong and former Suhum lawmaker, Fred Opare Ansah among others.
