Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed gratitude to God for his commanding victory in Saturday’s Super Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Specially selected delegates of the ruling party went to the polls nationwide today, to start the process of electing a flagbearer for the 2024 elections.
The National Congress of the Special Electoral College was to select five out of 10 aspirants for the final process in November.
Vice President Bawumia was the clear choice of delegates after emerging winner with nearly 68.15 percent and Kennedy Agyapong and Alan Kyerematen placing a distant second and third respectively.
Speaking to the media after the declaration of results, Vice President Bawumia expressed gratitude to the Almighty God, as well as the party for the clear win in the first stage of the contest.
“I’m thankful to God for the emphatic nature of my win today. I am also thankful to the delegates, for the overwhelming confidence they have showed in me,” Dr. Bawumia said, adding that getting over two thirds of the votes, and leaving the other 9 to share one third is a strong signal.
“I am very humbled and very grateful for the outcome of this election (Super Delegates).”
Dr. Bawumia added that his clear victory in the Super Delegates Conference is only the first step towards winning the main contest in November, adding that he and the delegates at all levels of the party, will continue to work hard to achieve that.
“This is only the first step toward our match to the flagbearership.
“I see this as a step towards winning the flagbearership,” he noted.
Dr. Bawumia said the main election for the party is next year’s presidential election, which he called for strengthening of party unity, for the party to go into that election with a united front, after the internal contest.
“The main election for the party is winning the 2024 elections and we all have to work together towards that. This will require unity from all the various flagbearership aspirants so we have to ensure that we don’t destroy the unity of this party,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“We should unite together and close ranks so that we fight together after the internal elections and win the main election.
“We have to come together and support whoever emerges winner so that we can break the eight.
‘I am confident I will emerge the winner.”
