The flagbearer and presidential candidate for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has confidently asserted that his party’s governance record surpasses that of the opposition NDC and its leader, John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking at the NPP’s manifesto launch in Takoradi, Dr Bawumia urged supporters to take pride in the party’s achievements as they prepare for the 2024 elections.
He highlighted the NPP administration’s notable accomplishments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and digital transformation, citing key initiatives such as the Free Senior High School policy, the One District One Factory policy, and the digitalization of public services.
“Our track record is superior to that of my opponent. Ladies and Gentlemen, if there was any doubt, I believe it is crystal clear from the data-backed account we have given that our overall performance and track record are superior to that of my opponent and his party in virtually every sector!”
Dr. Bawumia defended the NPP’s handling of the economy during global crises, demonstrating the party’s resilience and capability.
He commended the NPP government for continuing to implement policies aimed at alleviating hardship and promoting economic recovery despite ongoing economic difficulties.
He criticized the NDC for failing to deliver on promises made during its time in office, particularly regarding power shortages and economic instability—issues that the NPP has since addressed.
Dr Bawumia urged NPP members to emphasize these achievements as they engage with voters and called for unity and commitment within the party as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
He encouraged members to stay focused on securing victory for the NPP.
“The other part, of course, is about the courage and confidence to put what he intends to do differently this time around with the power he seeks, side by side with the vision I have for Ghana and the clear roadmap to getting the work done. That is the choice we are presenting to you, the Ghanaian voter on December 7” he said.
