The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) does not take for granted, its pact and obligations towards the people.
For him, this is evident in the party's decision to account for what it has done before launching today's manifesto.
At the launch of the party's 2024 Manifesto in Takoradi on Sunday, various speakers at the event took time to account for a number of projects and initiatives the party has delivered in various sectors, out of its 2020 Manifesto.
Delivering his own address to thousands and the nation, Dr. Bawumia said deciding to account also shows that the NPP has a superior and a proud track record, that also signifies the potential to do more.
"Our tradition, the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition, has not only been the vanguard of the rule of law and governance but also pacesetters and drivers of life-changing policies and interventions," Dr. Bawumia said.
"Let me thank all the earlier presenters for highlighting the major achievements of our government under the leadership of President Nana Akufo-Addo."
"We have taken some time to highlight these achievements because our track record is a significant predictor of capability and the potential to do more. We have catalogued them because, in the NPP we view these as our obligation to the people from whom we draw our mandate."
"We have enumerated them because they communicate our ability to respond to the numerous needs of different sections of our society."
"Indeed, we have listed them to show that we remain committed to fulfilling the social contract we have with the good people of Ghana. Above all, this exercise confirms that hundreds of pledges have been made to the Ghanaian people, and broadly, they have been kept, and given the opportunity, more impactful and forward-looking interventions will be implemented to move Ghana to the next level of the development journey; a journey that will build on our successes to open opportunities for all."
With many interventions, including Free SHS directly affecting the lives of millions, Dr. Bawumia also paid glowing tributes to President Akufo-Addo, predicting that posterity will judge him positively for touching millions of lives.
"We promised change and we have made significant progress. Mr. President, history will be kind to you and you shall be remembered for the millions of lives you have touched. We are eternally grateful."
