The Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has urged persons gunning for the party’s flagbearer position to unite and throw their support behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to him, Dr. Bawumia’s time has come to serve as the NPP’s presidential candidate and, eventually, to lead the country as president. He said that voting for the vice president is necessary because no other candidate stands a chance.
In an interview with TV3’s Komla Kluste, the Nsawam Adaogyiri politician stated that 119 of the majority members of Parliament support Dr. Bawumia as flagbearer.
“As at the last count, we were doing over 119 MPs; some have whispered into my ears, some have shown it openly, and that is how it looks. I am praying that it gets better… This is not Alan’s time; this is Dr. Bawumia’s time. Politics is season and time, if you are not careful, you will get it wrong. Look at the US, President Biden himself; look at all the processes he went through, but today he is the president,” he said.
“People say Alan was closer in the last primaries we held, so reasonably, he will take over, but the dynamism of leadership and politics should let them know that the narrative has changed… It is Dr. Bawumia’s time; nobody can change it except God. We respect all the people who are seeking to lead our party. The fact of the matter is, I have been on the ground; I have been to all the regions. If the primaries are conducted today, Dr. Bawumia will win, and Alan cannot beat Bawumia.” he added
