NPP firebrand says "Muslim and Northerner" Bawumia can't lead party in 2024
- A former NPP constituency chairman believes Dr. Bawumia will never lead the party
- He argues that the NPP will rather go for a Christian
- John Mahama and the NDC have petitioned the Supreme Court for a rerun
A leading member of the incumbent New Patriotic Party, E.G. Buckman says there is no way Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will lead the NPP as flag bearer in 2024.
In a published opinion, the former constituency chairman for Cape coast argued that the “winning formula” of the NPP is to choose a flagbearer from the Southern part of Ghana (must be a Christian) thence resort to the Northern part for the president. He says Bawumia’s chance at the presidency is very lean.
“The NPP has devised for itself a winning formula that has proven to be almost perfect since the year 2000. The wisdom of those party fathers who came up with this gift of formula to the party must be appreciated and respected,” excerpts of his write up said.
