In a bold prediction at a rally in Saboba, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed unwavering confidence in the party’s success in the upcoming December elections.
Speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, Bawumia not only forecasted a resounding victory for the NPP but also highlighted the imminent success of Charles Binipom Bintin, the current Member of Parliament for the Saboba Constituency.
“We will not only win this constituency but by midnight on December [2024], the Electoral Commission will declare Charles Bintin as the winner of the election,” Bawumia declared to the loud cheers of the crowd.
His forecast didn’t end there. He went on to assure his supporters that Ghana would be looking at him as the next president shortly, with the NPP securing a commanding majority in Parliament.
Bawumia’s words resonated deeply with the crowd, especially with the prospect of change in the Northern Region, which has been a key battleground in recent elections.
The NPP, under Bawumia’s leadership, has sought to secure a stronger foothold in the region, which has traditionally been an NDC stronghold.
The Vice President’s rallying cry came with an urgent call to action. “We need every single one of you to mobilize and vote in large numbers,” he urged, adding, “We must increase our margin of victory so significantly that there is no doubt about the outcome.”
The NPP’s confidence stems from what Bawumia sees as the party’s impressive track record over the years.
“Under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP government, we have made remarkable strides in development,” he said, pointing to infrastructure projects, social interventions, and economic policies as proof of the party’s commitment to Ghana’s progress.
“The people of Saboba, the people of the Northern Region, have seen the benefits of the NPP government, and come December, you will make the right choice again.”
