The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has called on Ghanaians to vote for the New Patriotic Party in the December polls.
He said a vote for the National Democratic Congress’ presidential candidate, John Mahama will mean that the country will go backwards.
Speaking at the launch of the 2020 NPP campaign’s fundraiser in Accra on Friday, 23 October 2020, the Vice President said “The people of Ghana know what the NDC is made up. We don’t want to repeat that dance, one step forward and two steps backward. Interestingly and by the grace of God, when the ballot numbering came, NPP is number one; NDC is number two. If you choose NPP, you’re going to take a step forward. If you choose NDC, you are going to take two steps backward.”
That is what it is. One step forward, or do you want two steps backward? That is the choice that Ghanaians face and we have to make sure, we the NPP and the people of Ghana, that we will protect the gains that the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has brought to Ghanaians. We cannot risk our free SHS, we cannot risk all the jobs we are creating, we cannot risk One District One Factory, One Village One Dam, NABCO and all the policies that we are making.” he further stated.
Dr. Bawumia however said this year’s election is crucial to the development of the country and therefore urged voters to vote number one on the ballot sheet because the future of the country is promising under President Nana Akufo-Addo.
“Nana Akufo-Addo has said that if by the grace of God, we come into office, he wants to extend help to students who have qualified to go to university with tertiary loans so that they can go to the university. And we are not going to build mortuaries for our Zongo communities. We are going to build schools for our zongo communities. So, there is a lot at stake for this election. It is the most important election, in my opinion, in our generation. Because I believe that we are on the cusp of a major transformation in this country and that is why we need to do what we can to raise the resources to support the NPP’s campaign.” he added.
