The Member of Parliament for New Juaben South Constituency, Michael Okyere Baafi, says the 2024 General Election is a "free penalty kick" for the Zongo communities and Northern Ghana to elect the competent Mahamudu Bawumia to advance the interests of Ghanaians.

The Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry stated that the NPP presidential candidate is tested and proven, with bold solutions and innovative ideas for addressing Ghana's challenges.

Addressing a gathering of NPP members after a health walk in Koforidua, Mr. Baafi noted that the NPP has demonstrated to Ghanaians that it is a national party that provides opportunities for all citizens to contribute to national development.

“The 2024 election is like a football match between you the Zongo communities and the northern part of Ghana on one side and the rest of Ghana. We have given the zongo communities a penalty without any goalkeeper in the poles, if you look at the empty pole and kick the ball off the pole, then it's your own problem. If you make a determination to score too, you have contributed to making history in Ghana's politics. Select competent Mahamadu Bawumia to lead Ghana in the 2024 election," Mr Okyere Baafi noted.

He said the records show that the NPP has developed the New Juaben South Constituency than any other political party in the history of Ghana.

In a related development, the MP also organised a mammoth walk and rally over the weekend.

Parliamentary Candidate for the Okere constituency Mr. Kenneth Daniel Nana Addo, indicated that the NPP government has been good to the people of Okere, delivering good roads, health care facilities including a district hospital, jobs, rural electrification projects among others.

He said the NPP has better ideas and solutions to Ghana's problem.

According to Kenneth Daniel Akufo-Addo, it is important for Ghanaians to retain the NPP in power and ensure the continuity of all the social interventions and development programs under the NPP administration.

“I say without any uncertainty that the NDC will cancel Free SHS when they win power. It is clear from their conduct from day one. Let's vote for Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia to deliver bold solutions to our problems. We need great ideas not 'day old chicks' economy,” Akufo-Addo mentioned.

He said Dr. Bawumia is the most competent candidate tried and tested for the office of president.

A former Eastern Regional Chairman of the NPP Mr. Kingston Komeng Kissi urged all NPP members to go out in their numbers to vote massively for Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia and the NPP.
