No Single NPP Member in Upper East Region made it to Bawumia’s Campaign Team and Manifesto Committee List

Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region have expressed disbelief and disappointment after not a single member from their region was included in Dr. Bawumia’s main list of campaign team and manifesto committee. Apexnewsgh report This exclusion has left party members questioning the reasons behind such omission. The committee, chaired by Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, includes three manifesto committee coordinators and 19 chairpersons of sub-committees. The primary objective of the committee is to review the party’s 2016 and 2020 manifestos and engage stakeholders to develop a pragmatic 2024 manifesto. Sector Ministers will serve as advisors to the committee. The absence of Upper East representatives in the campaign team and manifesto committee is particularly concerning given the region’s struggle with only one Member of Parliament out of 15 constituencies. In contrast, other regions such as North East, Northern Region, and Upper West were all adequately represented. This exclusion has prompted party members in the Upper East Region to question why their region was sidelined in such a crucial decision-making process. Additionally, ongoing research conducted by Apexnewsgh is indicating negative sentiments towards the governing party ahead of the 2024 election in the region. Meanwhile, the exclusion of Upper East representatives from Dr. Bawumia’s campaign team of 40 and manifesto committee of 25 has raised eyebrows and led to concerns among party members in the region.

“Dr. Bawumia is a bad news”—NDC National Youth Organizer

The National Youth Organizer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) George Opare Addo has described the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as bad news for the people of Upper East and Ghanaians people. Lawyer Opare Addo made the pronouncement during his engagement with the media at the Inauguration ceremony of the Upper East Regional Youth Working Committee in Bolgatanga on Thursday December 14, 2023. “I believe the people from our strongholds are discerning enough to know that Dr. Bawumia is bad news for them. In my language, we have a saying that the one that will give you something, he shows signs of giving you when he has something big. When Bawumia was made Vice President, what has been his contributions to the economy of his country? What has been his significant contribution? What has he done to turn the face of this economy? What has he done for Ghanaians? What has he done for the people of the northern region, including the Upper West and Upper East regions? Clearly nothing. And I can tell you that if you are looking for a leader who you can trust, and a leader you should be bold enough to say that this is the man who will make the difference, is John Dramani Mahama. I think Bawumia has brought a lot more disgrace to the office of the Vice President and any other vice president”. Speaking about the education sector, the national Youth Organizer, pointed the scholarship opportunities in the country are currently limited to only people within the NPP. “Education has been brought to its knees. I understand creative students are being urged to go to school for one month. Clearly this is not a social contract. Unemployment is at its worst. The rate of unemployment is the highest ever since”. He maintained “The first-time young people who have work, save money and even gone ahead to procure government bonds, which is the safest way of investing your money, and now they are being told they cannot get access to those bonds”. “So, there is a lot of despair for young people. And that is clearly what this government has stood on all of us. It is a hopeless situation, totally hopeless. And so, for young people in this country, we’ve lost hope”. “We’ve lost all hope in this government. We know that the only way we can save this country is by changing the government”. “Not too long ago, the president himself passed a vote of no confidence in himself by telling us that the problems that he’s faced as president, he cannot solve it and that we should wait for a new leader to come and solve it for us. What it means is that, if you’re a young person, the man is telling us that he and his administration have no solutions to your problems at this time, but we all agree that they failed us, and we must move on and bring in a government that resonate and speak the language of the people. A government that cares for young people. The government that sets the necessary framework for young people to develop their talents, dream and achieve those dreams. Lawyer Opare Addo told the media.

And you have tasked me to make sure that happens and I will work towards that, we have to work towards it, it is possible”. “The constitution has set out a very clear guideline for the resolution of chieftaincy disputes. This is through the house of chiefs and ultimately the Supreme Court. Fighting and killing each other can never resolve a chieftaincy dispute and I should also state that under the constitution of the Republic of Ghana, No government can impose a solution or use force to settle Chieftaincy disputes. As President by the grace of God, I shall uphold and defend the constitution of the Republic of Ghana”.

We have recruited in the private and public sectors 2.1m jobs–Dr. Bawumia

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President, has acknowledged that while the NPP government has created an unprecedented 2.1 million jobs for the youth over the past 7 years, there is still more work to be done due to the increasing youth population in Ghana. Speaking at the launch of the YEA’s latest initiative, the Business and Employment Assistance Programme in Sunyani, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the government’s commitment to job creation, stating that they have created more jobs than any previous administration in Ghana’s history. He highlighted the importance of addressing unemployment and improving job creation in both the public and private sectors. While proud of the 2.1 million jobs created, Dr. Bawumia expressed the need to do more considering that the youth make up a significant percentage of the country’s population. He stressed that the youth are a valuable resource, and it is the nation’s collective responsibility to enable them to contribute to the economic development of Ghana. The Business and Employment Support Programme, launched by Dr. Bawumia, aims to support the growth of MSMEs by providing financial assistance to skilled workers and facilitating the hiring of more young entrepreneurs to foster the expansion of small and medium scale businesses. This program is expected to benefit approximately 10,000 businesses and 20,000 youth. Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

NPP running mate: Dr. Bawumia demands for extra time to make a better choice

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has been given extra time by the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to choose his running mate for the upcoming election. The NPP’s constitution requires that the flagbearer selects a running mate one year before the election if the president is not the candidate or the party is not in government. However, Dr Bawumia appealed to the National Council for more time to consult on the matter. The National Council, with the authority to waive this requirement in special circumstances, granted Dr Bawumia’s request. The party’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, explained that Dr Bawumia needed additional time for consultation before presenting his chosen running mate to the National Council.

2024 is not a shouting match nor a contest of attacks—Isaac Adongo told Dr. Bawumia

Isaac Adongo, the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, has emphasized to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), that the upcoming 2024 contest should not be centered around personal attacks. Adongo believes that in 2024, Ghanaian voters will choose a leader based on their track record of achievements rather than empty promises. Adongo criticizes Bawumia for being part of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government, which failed to deliver on numerous pledges made to the people of Ghana. For instance, Adongo points out that the government claimed they would establish one factory in every district, but instead, they only commissioned preexisting factories as new ones. He also highlights that the government promised to provide $1 million to every constituency, but no funds have been delivered after seven years. Adongo argues that Bawumia should present his own agenda and be held accountable for his previous promises, rather than resorting to shouting matches and personal attacks. He continued “When you question the state of promises made by this government, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will be angry and be shouting on top of his voice. This is not a shouting match, this is not a contest of attacks” Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: 0256336062
