Bawumia to engage media on August 25

In an earlier publication, YEN.com.gh reported that Dr Bawumia will meet the press on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

This came some weeks after the National Democratic Congress flagbearer, John Mahama, met the media.

The Bawumia campaign said the media engagement is to help understand NPP's 2024 manifesto better.
