As the country approaches the December elections, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to scrutinize the NPP government’s record.
During a campaign tour in the North East Region, Bawumia highlighted the policies and initiatives implemented over the past seven and a half years, encouraging a comparative analysis with the opposition.
Addressing a community gathering in Gbintiri, Nalerigu/Gambaga constituency, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the true measure of a people-centered government lies in its tangible impact on the everyday lives of citizens.
He argued that the NPP has consistently prioritized the needs of ordinary Ghanaians, setting a benchmark that their main opponents, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), have failed to meet.
As the election draws near, the contrast between the two parties’ records is becoming a central theme, with the NPP positioning itself as the champion of grassroots development and economic progress.
“The NPP government has made it possible for every Ghanaian child to access Secondary education through Free SHS. The Government has made it possible for every Ghanaian to enjoy banking services with Mobile Money Interoperability.
“Today, because of the use of drones, we can send medicine and other medical supplies to remote places in Ghana. You can renew your Health Insurance from your phone. Indeed, there are so many initiatives this NPP government has implemented to make life better for everyone,” he stated while speaking at the Gbintiri Market Square.
Promising even brighter days ahead, Dr. Bawumia stated, “The Government of Nana Akufo-Addo has laid a foundation for growth, and the next Government, led by me Insha Allah, will further implement policies and programmes that will boost business and industry, provide accelerated and improved healthcare, more quality and accessible ICT-based education, and help make the life of the ordinary Ghanaian even better.”
On the first day of his constituency campaign tour in the North East Region, Dr. Bawumia paid courtesy calls on the Nayiri (Overlord of the Mamprugu State) at Nalerigu and other traditional leaders including the Gbintiri Naa at Gbintiri, Yunyoo Rana at Yunyoo and the Bunkpurugu Naaba at Bunkpurugu.
He will also engage key stakeholders including youth groups, embark on door-to-door campaigns and partake in Community Engagements with the NPP Parliamentary Candidates of the Nalerigu/Gambaga, Yunyoo and Bunkpurugu constituencies.
