Bawumia has changed “Turbulent” political landscape with his campaign of issues – Paramount Chief of Peki

Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, the Paramount Chief of the Volta Region’s Peki Traditional Area, has praised Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s vice president and flagbearer, for running a respectable campaign that was issue-based.

Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII welcomed Dr. Bawumia to Peki, in the South Dayi Constituency, as part of the NPP Flagbearer’s campaign tour. He noted that since Dr. Bawumia was elected NPP Flagbearer, the Vice President has adopted a new approach to issue-based campaigning, which has helped to alter the nation’s insult-based political landscape.

“This particular year’s political activity has taken a new turn and I take a special notice of it,”  said the Paramount Chief.

“In the past, political activities had been turbulent and full of insults, and things that are not palatable for our children to learn from.”

“Before Alhaji Bawumia was elected to lead the NPP, the trend had started.  Even people who had not declared themselves candidates, started with insults and threats but since he joined the fray, we noticed that his campaign has always been issue-based and this has changed the landscape of our campaigning for now,”

“Yes we still hear a few threats here and there, a few insults here and there. But what had been the status quo has changed and I think we need to commend the Flagbearer of the NPP for this.”

According to Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, his remarks were a genuine observation rather than an attempt to impress Dr. Bawumia.

“Those who know me know that I don’t flatter people. If I need to tell you, you’re a fool, I will look into your face and tell you, you are a fool. So whatever I say should not be taken as if because the Vice President is here, I want to flatter him.”
