Our Votes Increased In My Home Region – Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia

 

The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has revealed that in the last general election, it was only in the North East Region that the party’s votes increased.

He said, “The number of votes the party had in 15 out of the 16 regions of Ghana declined in the 2024 elections as compared to what the party had in those regions in the 2020 general election.

“It was only in the North East Region that the party was able to increase its votes, and that is my home region.”

Addressing NPP supporters in Takoradi as part of his nationwide ‘Thank You Tour’, Dr. Bawumia noted that the number of votes President John Mahama had in 2024, was not all that different from what he got in 2020.

Dr. Bawumia stated that in the Greater Accra Region for instance, 529,000 people declined to vote. “In the Ashanti Region they were 430,000; Eastern, 258,000; Central, 251,000; Western, 164,000 and Bono Region, 100,000,” he added.

Dr. Bawumia urged party members to unite as they set their sights on winning the 2028 general election, saying unity is the key to strengthening the party and regaining power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Dr. Bawumia, who was joined by his former competitor in the NPP flagbearer race, Ken Agyapong, stressed that it was important for the party to unite, adding, “If we are united, we are going to win 2028.”

He explained that from the time of the late Prof. Adu Boahen to former President Akufo-Addo, all the party’s presidential candidates had gone ahead with a ‘Thank You Tour’ irrespective of the outcome of general elections.

“We are doing it differently this time because I want unity,” he said.

Dr. Bawumia assured the supporters that the party has taken important lessons from the last elections and was determined to make the necessary corrections.

He also expressed deep appreciation to the party’s polling station executives and grassroots supporters, describing them as the NPP’s greatest assets.
