The District Chief Executive(DCE) for Talensi Thomas Duanab Wuni says Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is the most appropriate presidential candidate to lead the New Patriotic Party in the 2024 elections
According to him, the party cannot pretend over the fact that Dr Bawumia is already the presidential candidate of the party though a presidential primaries is yet to be held.
Mr Wuni in an interview on Dreamz Fm in Bolgatanga argued that all factors, demographics and analysis point to the Vice President as the leader who will not only consolidate the gains of the ruling party to break the 8 but will also significantly increase the votes of the party in certain areas.
“We’re in a democracy and in every democracy you would have people belonging or supporting other people. I cannot hide as an educated person who has been reading trends and I looked at my trend analysis and I put all of them [Aspirants] along the line and I do analysis on each person. While I did it I could see clearly that this is a very tough election that we are going into. Who can add extra votes to our votes? This is what we’re looking at. So in doing the analysis from 2016 till date, the goodwill that the Vice President has developed is a chunk market took to develop this party,” he said.
The Talensi DCE dismissed assertions that Dr Bawumia’s pronouncements on economic issues as against the prevailing economic conditions in the country makes him a difficult candidate to be marketed.
He noted that Ghana is a victim of a global economic crisis, hence Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia cannot be held responsible for the economic challenges Ghana is experiencing.
“It’s obvious and I see him as the best bet. We cannot pretend about it. I’ve just one vote and there are several others and so we cannot pretend. I would not be voting for any other person but certainly for the Vice President,” he added.
Ahead of the presidential primaries of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Bawumia has been widely tipped to win massively to lead the party in the next election.
