Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, flag bearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has promised to run a campaign devoid of insults and personal attacks.
He says his focus would be to sell his message to Ghanaians regarding what he has done as Vice President and what he will be able to do if given the mandate.
The Vice President says what bothers Ghanaians most is the economic and social challenges which he will be addressing in his campaign rather than resulting to a campaign of insults.
He made the remarks at a meeting with Wa Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV at his palace in Wa Sunday, May 19, 2024, as part of his nationwide campaign tour.
This was after the Wa Naa had admonished him to stick to a decent and proper campaign without insults.
“I am very much guided by your advice and that advice is one that I have been implementing and sharing my ideas with the people of Ghana with no insult to anybody. Just my ideas and this is how I have been campaigning throughout. So that is the message we will be going around with. To tell Ghanaians what I am going to do as president and what we have done as a government to ask for the people’s support to go to the next level,” he noted.
Dr. Bawumia also appealed to Wa Naa and his people to vote for him as president in the upcoming December 7 general elections ahead of his main competitor, John Dramani Mahama.
“Myself and my main opponent [John Dramani Mahama] are all your children. We are both from the North and he has been president before but I haven’t been president before, so I have told him [John Dramani Mahama] that he is my senior brother, and he should have patience for me so I can also become president of this country.
“I will be able to be president for eight years, and he can only be president for four years, so if the presidency is coming home, then we should have it for eight years rather than four years,” he noted.
