NPP-UK Raises £1.2 million To Support Bawumia’s Campaign
About £1.2 million has been raised at a fund raising dinner dance organised by the United Kingdom (UK) branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in collaboration with the Young Executives Forum (YEF) in London on Saturday, June 22, 2024 to support the campaign of the party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The function was attended by the flagbearer and some party executives in Ghana and UK.
Appreciation
In a speech, Dr Bawumia thanked the NPP-UK and the YEF for their immense support showed him and the party.
He told the gathering that he is determined to work hard , with the support of the entire party, to secure victory in the December 7 elections.
“The campaign has started in earnest. We have done a tour of the 16 regions, and we just finished with Ashanti. I think going through the 16 regions, it is clear that the narrative is changing. There were people who, six months ago, did not believe that the NPP was going to win the 2024 elections, but I think that after talking about our record and talking about our vision for this country, minds have changed dramatically and NPP is in the position to win the 2024 elections,” he said.
Crucial elections
The General Secretary of the NPP, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the elections are crucial for the country’s development adding that the NPP is presenting a tried and tested candidate in Dr Bawumia.
“The question is, between a candidate who can run for two terms and one who can only run for one term who should be given the chance to be president. If we choose Dr Bawumia, he will be forced to deliver because he will have the opportunity to come back to Ghanaians after four years to ask them to renew his mandate,” he said.
