Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia capped his Bono Regional campaign tour on a high note, following an electrifying reception in Sunyani on the final leg of his four-day tour on Friday.

Over the past four days, Dr. Bawumia engaged NPP members at all levels across the region, and the massive turnout in Berekum East and the two Sunyani constituencies — East and West — reflected the overwhelming support he received in the nine other constituencies he had visited earlier: Banda, Tain, Wenchi, Jaman North, Jaman South, Berekum West, Dormaa East, Dormaa West, and Dormaa Central.

In each constituency, party members — from constituency executives to polling station officers — gave the former Vice President a warm welcome and openly declared their unflinching support for him.

They praised his committed service to the NPP since becoming the party’s running mate in 2008, his impactful work as Vice President, and his continuous support for the party and its members across the country.

Many also commended his personal values, describing his humility, selflessness, and respect for all as key leadership qualities that both the NPP and Ghana need — reasons they remain steadfast in their support for his candidacy.

During his tour, Dr. Bawumia outlined his plan to end the neglect of party members under future NPP governments by instituting a sustainable welfare policy to address the needs of members across constituencies.

He explained that a database would be created to capture the specific needs of party members, while a presidential coordinator would work with constituency welfare coordinators to ensure regular follow-ups and timely interventions.

“People don’t need the same things. Some need loans to start or expand businesses, some need educational scholarships, some need jobs, and others need farming equipment or materials. You cannot address people’s needs if you don’t know them. The database will help us identify and track the needs in every constituency so we can respond appropriately and monitor who has been assisted and who is yet to be assisted,” Dr. Bawumia said.

This proposed welfare policy, alongside his plan to allocate a minimum of 10 government appointments to each constituency, was warmly received by party members throughout the region.

“His plan to create a database clearly shows his seriousness and commitment to ensure that none of us is left behind, and I appreciate that,” said a delegate in Berekum.

Overall, it has been a highly successful tour for Dr. Bawumia — and fittingly, the best was saved for last in the regional capital, Sunyani, where euphoric scenes greeted the former Vice President as he concluded his Bono Regional campaign.
