According to the former Member of Parliament for the Tamale Central Constituency, Hon. Alhaji Inusah Fuseini Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia started his 2024 flagbearership campaign way back in 2020.
This means while the Vice President was campaigning for President Nana Addo to be re-elected in the 2020 general elections, he also equally had his eyes fixed on the ball and had even set up a camp to outline his campaign strategies towards succeeding President Nana Akufo-Addo as the next flagbearer of the NPP in the 2024 elections. The former Member of Parliament for the Tamale Central Constituency, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini reveal this on Pan African TV.
He narrated that while on his way to Tamale from Accra back in 2020, he accidentally runs into a bosom friend of his, who happens to a member of Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team. He said this friend of his revealed to him that the Vice President had set up a camp in Accra where they met to strategize for the NPP’s flagbearership contest towards the 2024 elections.
He said “in 2020, I was traveling to Tamale and at the airport, I met somebody who turned out to be my friend. He told me that Bawumia’s team had set up a camp in Accra and they were meeting to strategize for the election”.
Inusah Fuseni added that his friend gave him “reasons to believe that their meetings were far advanced and they had already settled on a running-mate and he mentioned the name to me. I won’t disclose that now”.
He again stressed he subsequently met with the proposed running-mate who confirmed that the Vice President’s camp had commenced meetings on his ambitions to lead the NPP but noted that the supposedly running mate to partner Dr. Bawumia should emerge as the next NPP’s flagbearer in 2024 was shocked about how he (Inusah Fuseni) came across such information.
Just a few months into the second term of President Nana Akufo Addo’s campaign on his replacement has intensified within the elephant family. Fliers of the Trade Minister, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia have been circulating on social media with their supporters touting their abilities to break the 8-years governance circle in Ghana’s fourth republic.
Dr. Owusu Afriyie is reported to have held a meeting with potential delegates of the NPP in Kumasi and disclosed his intentions to run for the presidential candidature of the NPP and dolled out huge sums of monies to them. However, he has since dismissed those claims and stated that he was only in Kumasi to recover from malaria fever.
