New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has emphasized the "remarkable progress achieved" under his party’s leadership, contrasting it with the tenure of former President John Mahama.
Addressing supporters in the Northern Region on November 21, Dr. Bawumia highlighted the NPP government’s initiative of providing computers to schoolchildren as an example of innovation and advancement, contrasting it with the shortage of chalk that schools experienced during Mahama's administration.
He urged voters to view the 2024 election as a critical decision between stagnation and meaningful progress, presenting the NPP as the party with a bold and forward-looking vision for Ghana's future.
Additionally, highlighting his credentials as a contender, Dr. Bawumia said: "This election is about who can deliver the transformation Ghana needs, and I am confident that I am the better choice for the future of our country."
"In his time, there was no chalk in schools. We are buying tablets for school children. Every child will get one. No one will be left out. We are even buying laptops for teachers. We are buying it for teachers from Kindergarten to SHS," a report by citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said.
As part of his nationwide outreach efforts, Dr. Bawumia started making strategic trips to constituencies he had yet to visit on Thursday. Several seats were left on the NPP flagbearer's list for this campaign cycle despite the fact that he has already visited all sixteen regions.
On his journey, Dr. Bawumia visited Tamale South, Kumbungu, and Tolon. Habib Iddrisu, an NPP MP, represents Tolon out of the three constituencies.
From a parliamentary performance of 15.2% in 2016 to 40.8% in 2020, the NPP has made notable strides in Kumbungu. Haruna Iddrisu's Tamale South constituency is still firmly under NDC control.
During his trip, Dr. Bawumia also dedicated a mosque in the constituency of Tolon.
