The campaign team for former Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, says his number four position on the ballot paper for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer race reflects his vision to reach every Ghanaian with inclusive and transformative leadership.

Speaking on The Pulse on JoyNews on Friday, October 10, Campaign Spokesperson, Yaw Opoku Mensah, said the position is not a coincidence but a symbolic representation of Dr Adutwum’s commitment to serve all four corners of the country.

“The 4 represents the four corners of the country. It symbolises inclusiveness, national balance, and the vision to reach every Ghanaian, regardless of location.”

He further explained that the number carries deep significance for Dr Adutwum and his campaign, linking it to both personal meaning and national purpose.

“This is a significant 4. Dr Osei Adutwum is a Thursday-born, and when he picked his forms, he did so on a Thursday that was for a purpose. We believe this is the time to serve the present age and a calling to fulfil.”

Highlighting the former Minister’s achievements, Mr Opoku Mensah pointed to Dr Adutwum’s transformative leadership at the Ministry of Education and his long-standing dedication to youth development.

“When you look at his work at the Education Ministry and within his constituency, there’s clear evidence of impact,” he said.

“We have about 150 students studying engineering and medicine through his initiatives, because he believes education should be the anchor of our socio-economic development.”

He added that Dr Adutwum’s campaign message continues to emphasise education as the driving force behind national progress.

“Dr Adutwum has always said that Ghana can engineer itself out of poverty when the right people are placed in charge of national affairs. That is why education and innovation remain central to his vision.”

Explaining further, he said the number four also represents four key pillars that will guide Dr Adutwum’s leadership approach: health, education, job creation, and national cohesion.

“Health-wise, we must have an agenda that ensures longevity, so we can enjoy the fruit of our labour,” he said.

“And again, the creation of jobs will be a top priority because we need a healthy, productive, and prosperous country.”
