Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dan Botwe has urged the rank and file of the party to unite in support of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's candidacy, endorsing him to become the NPP's next flagbearer.

The MP for the Okere Constituency made the appeal during the Vice President's visit to the Okere Constituency last Sunday.

Drawing upon his extensive experience as a former General Secretary of the party and after thorough analysis of the various contenders and the current state of both the party and the nation, Dan Botwe asserted that the most fitting individual to steer the NPP forward is undeniably Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

"Since we started this flagbearership campaign, I have not spoken. But today I will speak. I was elected General Secretary of the NPP 25 years ago. I have had experience working under several stalwarts of the Party. I know the NPP very well. I know very well all the 10 people contesting. But I am here at Okere saying this. That anyone who knows me knows that I speak the truth and you cannot influence me with anything," Dan Botwe said.

"I love all the aspirants, but I love the NPP more. My friends in the NPP, if we look at what is happening in Ghana and NPP now, we are looking into the future. Based on my knowledge of the Party and judging from what is happening, I want to say and ask all of you to go and vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia."

In his remarks, Dan Botwe emphasized the necessity for the NPP to adopt a strategic approach as they approach the 2024 election. He underlined that the most prudent and effective strategic choice for the party to secure victory in the upcoming election is to designate Vice President Bawumia as their chosen flagbearer.
