Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer for the 2024 presidential elections, recently made a significant visit to the Ga Palace, where he took the opportunity to reflect on his journey in politics and the challenges he has overcome.
Addressing King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and the gathered Ga traditional leaders, Bawumia emphasized his remarkable achievement in securing over 60% of the votes in the NPP presidential primaries-an unprecedented feat for a first-time candidate. "My victory in the NPP primaries is not just a personal achievement; it represents a break from the past, proving that leadership is not confined to any particular ethnic group," Bawumia stated confidently.
He recalled how, throughout the race, his candidacy had been met with skepticism, especially from the opposition, who often branded the NPP as an "Akan party" and suggested that his Northern heritage would hinder his prospects.
