Chief Obosu Mohammed, former press secretary to Alan Kyerematen, in this opinion piece argues Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is NPP’s best bet for 2024.
“Having gauged the pulse of the NPP members, sympathisers and the good people of Ghana, analysed the strengths and electoral records of the prospective candidates seeking to lead our great party and upon critical and reflective thinking, I am without a doubt that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has a towering advantage that can cement our victory in the 2024 general elections.”
The exigencies of our politics require that electoral competitions are not a staged one-off event, however, it is conducted within a multiplicity of processes that can lead to a triumphant end either through overt or covert means – every moment counts in politics, and every space ought to be contested without the limitation of time.
We therefore cannot ignore the lingering-obvious that is poking at us on the heels of “it’s not yet time” while we continue to murmur in our homes, little gatherings, offices etc as to who we should expect to hold the flag of our party in the next presidential primaries.
It is important that we demonstrate sobriety, integration and not disintegration in every step of the political processes by the various interest-blocs. As such, we must be open to a broader, healthy and progressive public conversation on who best fits to ride on the back of the elephant to victory in the 2024 Presidential elections as a measure of energising and exciting our base, in so far as it is done cordially with the bigger picture in sight while we continue to aggressively pursue the business of running a successful government by helping the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, in consolidating our gains thus far– it is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time.
I am therefore inclined on the premise of the above stated principle to offer my firm opinion on the way forward for our party as far as the upcoming presidential primaries are concerned. The big question then remains, who is capable of delivering unto us the presidency with no or little great deal of difficulty in the not-too-distant future? Having gauged the pulse of the NPP members, sympathisers and the good people of Ghana, analysed the strengths and electoral records of the prospective candidates seeking to lead our great party and upon critical and reflective thinking, I am without a doubt that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has a towering advantage that can cement our victory in the 2024 general elections.
