Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the Vice President and 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is embarking on a three-day campaign tour of the Ashanti region starting today.
Speculation is rife that he may announce his running mate from the region during this tour.
The campaign will kick off with a meeting at the True Vine Hotel involving Ashanti regional party executives, government appointees, members of parliament, parliamentary candidates, and various councils and committees, including the regional council of elders and the council of patrons.
Later in the morning, Dr. Bawumia will engage with paramount chiefs and queen mothers at the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs secretariat in Kumasi, where he will outline his vision ahead of the launch of his campaign manifesto for the general elections.
Following a two-hour session with traditional leaders, he will meet with the clergy at McKeown Temple and subsequently with Muslim leaders at the Kumasi Central Mosque in the afternoon. His itinerary also includes a meeting with traders at the Kumasi Central Market.
Dr. Bawumia will wrap up the first day of his tour with meetings at the True Vine Hotel with various professional bodies.
These include the Ghana Medical Association, Ghana Bar Association, Ghana Journalists Association, University Teachers Association of Ghana, Ghana National Association of Teachers, National Association of Graduate Teachers, Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana Institute of Architects, Ghana Institute of Engineers, Ghana Institute of Surveyors, Ghana Association of Society of Medical Physics, Nurses and Midwifery Association, Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ghana, and the Ghana Institute of Planning, among others.
