Yamusah Ibrahim, alias Brainmaster, the North East regional deputy secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), said delegates from the region are supporting Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia to become the presidential candidate of the party ahead of the 2024 elections.
The governing party goes to the polls on 4 November to elect its flagbearer. Bawumia is vying for the position with three others – maverick lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong, former MP Francis Addai-Nimoh and the former minister of agriculture Owusu Afriyie Akoto.
Speaking to Asaase News, Ibrahim was confident that Bawumia will poll over 95% of votes across the country to lead the NPP.
“We pray that come 4 November, we should get 95% to 100% votes in the whole country. 95% that is what I am anticipating,” he added.
However, he said delegates in North East Region are hoping to give Bawumia a 100% endorsement.
“We are expecting 100% [votes] because when you compare those who were contesting with him, we know very well that the man is very intelligent, and he is a political luminary who can take this country to the next level.
“We don’t just want a leader who will come and take over; we want someone who can take the country to the next level,” he said.
“Everybody in the North East region is very excited about the 100% endorsement given to the Vice President,” Ibrahim said.
