Delegates in the Yunyoo and Chereponi constituencies in the North East Region have joined colleagues in some constituencies in the region to assure former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of unflinching support.
They thus restrained him from going through the stress of campaigning to them.
Dr. Bawumia, who is in the North East Region as part of his national campaign tour, has had a walkover in terms of delivering his usual hour-long campaign message in many constituencies in the region.
In Walewale and Yagaba Kubore, delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) pleaded with Dr Bawumia not to waste his time to campaign to them.
On Thursday in the Yunyoo and Chereponi constituencies, NPP delegates also did same, saying it will be a waste of Dr Bawumia’s time because their minds were already made up to give him a resounding 100% win in January’s primaries.
As it happened in Walewale the previous day, delegates in the two constituencies who had enthusiastically welcomed the former Vice President, prevented him from addressing or campaigning to them because, as they put it, they were already convinced.
Various speakers in Yunyoo and Chereponi eulogised Dr. Bawumia’s contribution to the NPP as well as his experience, insisting that he’s the most marketed and prepared candidate to deliver victory to the NPP in 2028, hence their resolve to give him a massive support, without even addressing them.
To demonstrate their support, all electoral area coordinators of the constituencies declared their support for Dr. Bawumia.
They said their gesture reflected the will of their respective constituencies.
On his part, Dr. Bawumia expressed profound gratitude to the delegates and members of the party for their support and confidence in him.
Dr. Bawumia has so far visited about 12 regions, and he has received widespread declarations of support from delegates of the NPP.
The NPP goes to the polls on Saturday, January 31 to elect its 2028 flagbearer.
