The vice president and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamud Bawumia, together with party executives, joined hundreds of party supporters on Saturday, March 30, 2024, in a unity walk as part of the Kwahu Easter celebrations. The unity walk took off at Kwahu Bepong at 6:30 a.m. through the principal streets of the Kwahu enclave and ended at the rally grounds at Mpraeso. It was a joyous moment for the NPP members to walk together to regenerate the spirit of the party ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Addressing the party faithful, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, said an aggressive campaign strategy of moving door to door and house to house to preach the achievements of his government to electorates is a sure possible way of breaking the 8.
He further showed the difference between his approach and that of his competitor, John Mahama, stating that he will not take a honeymoon period after being elected, as he plans to run for office again in 2028.
Dr. Bawumia also used the occasion to highlight some of the achievements of the NPP government and the reforms he intends to bring when voted to power in the December 2024 elections.
During the walk, some of the participants held placards with inscriptions such as “It is possible to break the 8,” “Unity is key,” “One constituency, one ambulance,” “Teacher trainee allowances paid,” “I am for Dr. Bawumia because of the universal or code payment system,” and “NPP is the best party,” among others.
Some notable bigwigs of the NPP who took part in the unity walk included the National Chairman; Stephen Ntim, General Secretary, Justin Koduah Frimpong, National Women’s Organiser; Kate Gyamfua and the National Organizer, Henry Na Boakye, aka Nana B.
Others are the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong; the Deputy Minister for Tourism, Mark Okraku-Mantey; the former General Secretary of the party, John Boadu; some parliamentarians, ministers of state, and parliamentary candidates, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
The police were also present on the ground to provide security for patrons of the unity walk.
