As part of the political campaign towards the November 4 presidential primary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who is seen by many as the leading candidate has come under numerous political attacks, according to Kwamena Duncan, a former Central Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party.
Kwamena Duncan, also a former Central Regional Minister said despite the attacks, the Vice President and his spokesperson has not responded or reacted to any of the political attacks.While commending him he says it shows a sign and mark of a good leader.
He noted that the Vice President has rather chosen to concentrate on his duties and his campaign of meeting NPP delegates who will be selecting the next flagbearer on November 4, 2023.
Those in the race in addition to Dr Bawumia are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai Nimoh.
Kennedy Agyapong for instance on his part has taken his campaign a notch higher touching base with all facets and the nooks of cranny of the country interacting and meeting delegates
” I don’t attack opponents because it should be a contest of ideas not insults” he said.
He pulled a surprise when he came second in the special delegates conference, which in August 2023 selected five aspirants out of the initial 10.
According to Duncan, the attitude of Dr Bawumia of not reacting to the attacks was commendable and this is what delegates should consider and elect him as the flagbearer of the NPP.
