Regardless of who they backed in the presidential and parliamentary primaries, NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has asked members of the party’s foreign branches to unite and support the party for victory in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Speaking on Saturday, March23, 2024 at the NPP International Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dr. Bawumia said that the NPP’s diaspora branches are essential to the organization and that they will play a significant role in assisting the party in winning this year.
“The diaspora branches of the NPP have been very key to the fortunes of the NPP. And for the 2024 elections, you have major roles to play,” Dr. Bawumia said.
He added that in recognition of their key roles, his campaign set up has a special structure for Diaspora affairs.
“Dear Patriots, many of you in the diaspora have asked about your role in the campaign. The National Campaign Team comprises the diaspora coordination team made up Dr. Akwasi Acheampong, Amponsah Stonash, Obaa Yaa Frimpong, Richard Gyamfi, Emmanuel Attafuah and Kingsley Agyemang,” added the NPP Flagbearer.
“The purpose of this team is to bring to bear the exceptional talents in the diaspora, coordinate plans and ideas from the diaspora, among other resources, to infuse them into the broader national campaign strategy and execution. I do not doubt that the team we have assembled will work extremely hard to make all diaspora feel a part of the campaign.”
Dr. Bawumia assured them of his openness to embrace all party members and stressed the need for all to come together to ensure the party breaks the 8 and also wins the majority in Parliament in December.
“Unity is not something we must take for granted. We must work vigorously at it. As your flagbearer, I stand before you, as an inclusive and unifying person, with a deep-seated conviction to embrace all of you to my team and campaign. I pledge not to alienate any of you. I stand with you, whether you campaigned for me or not.”
The NPP International Conference was attended by representatives of the party’s external branches across the world.
