“NDC seem very angry as they see themselves losing this election” – Bawumia

The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Mahamudu Bawumia, has indicated members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are no longer as certain of winning the 2024 election as they were a year ago.

“So far, the narrative has changed and the momentum is now on our side. It is clear and our opponent a year ago seemed confident but today, rather than being confident, they seem very angry as they see themselves losing this election” Bawumia stated.

On September 9, 2024, Bawumia became the first candidate to formally file his candidacy papers at the offices of the Electoral Commission in order to run for president in 2024.

Bawumia urged all party supporters to “work hard and come together, unified in every constituency and every electoral area, every polling station to make sure to bring out our people on the day and to let people see what the NPP has done” while speaking to party supporters at the NPP headquarters on Monday, September 9.

He used the example of a lousy driver and a good driver, referring to himself as the excellent driver’s “mate” who was prepared to succeed his boss.

“Today if he doesn’t know we are giving laptops to senior high school students. He wants nkoko nketenkete and 24-hour disco. Is that how we are going to transform Ghana? No, the bus is in Walewale and the mate is going to take it from Walewale and get to Paga and beyond and we will transform this country.”

“And now we want to move this country into a digital age and you say we should go back to ‘nkoko nketenkete [small chicks], we should go back to reset to the time when we couldn’t afford chalk in schools,” he said, taking a swipe at the former president John Mahama.
