The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is set to introduce his campaign team next week. According to the Party’s General Secretary, Mr Justin Koduah Frimpong, the Flagbearer has a clear vision for the nation and wasted no time in announcing his policy direction just a few months after being elected as the Presidential candidate. On the other hand, Mr Frimpong pointed out that the NDC Flagbearer, former President John Mahama, has not yet revealed his policy direction even after a year of being elected Flagbearer.
During the acclamation of Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor as the parliamentary candidate of Damongo in the Savannah Region on Saturday, Mr Koduah Frimpong announced his hope that the free and fair internal party elections would yield fruitful results in the December 7 polls. He called for unity among the rank and file of the party to ensure a resounding victory in December, stating that a divided front can never win an election.
The acclamation ceremony also saw the launch of the Damongo Constituency and the Savannah Region campaigns of the Party for the 2024 Election.
Mr Jinapor, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources for the past four years, has impacted his constituents with infrastructure projects and social interventions to alleviate poverty among his people. For instance, he facilitated the construction of an astroturf, a community centre, a 15-kilometre asphalt road, and 15 community boreholes. He also provided educational materials to the pupils and paid the tuition fees of 300 students from the constituency enrolled in some tertiary institutions across the country. Additionally, he provided financial and technical support to women groups engaged in small and medium-scale enterprises to expand their businesses.
