Techiman South Member of Parliament (MP), Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, has expressed strong confidence in Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's prospects for victory in the New Patriotic Party's presidential primaries scheduled for Saturday, November 4.

He firmly believes that Dr. Bawumia will secure a decisive triumph, asserting that none of his competitors have a realistic chance.

The Deputy Minister for Local Government, Decentralization, and Rural Development even went to the extent of playfully wagering that he would change his name from Martin to Martha if Dr. Bawumia fails to emerge as the winner.

He stated in an interview on Onua TV on Tuesday, October 31, that "Bawumia’s win is a given, right away when Bawumia set his mind to contest the election, he had been a big winner but of course, democracy as it is, who would have left it for him on a silver platter? No... Right from day one when he decided to contest he has been the best bet for our fortunes going forward, he would win big.”

When asked if he would be surprised if Dr Bawumia doesn't emerge victorious, he said "I will change my name from Martin to Martha.If Bawumia doesn't win, call me Martha."

Adjei-Mensah Korsah emphasized that the Vice President represents the strongest contender to lead the ruling New Patriotic Party in the 2024 general elections and highlighted Dr. Bawumia's widespread popularity within the party.

The NPP is gearing up to hold its primaries on Saturday, November 4, 2023.

With the competition for the party's presidential nomination reaching its final stages, the outcome of the upcoming primaries will play a critical role in shaping the NPP's prospects of clinching a third consecutive term in office.
