Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on religious bodies to support him with prayers to become victorious in the 2024 election. 

Dr Bawumia made the call at Techiman in the Bono Region as part of his nationwide campaign in a separate meeting with the religious bodies, the Muslim community, Bono East traditional leaders, the youth wing of NPP, traders at Techiman market and artisans at Magazine. 

He asked the religious groups, the clergy, and Muslim and traditional leaders to intensify their prayers for peaceful and fair elections as well as for his bid to become the next President.  

Dr  Bawumia stated that the religious tolerance in the country had endeared the nation to many, particularly on the issue of peace, adding that the NPP would collaborate with all stakeholders during and after the election to sustain the peace of the nation. 

He outlined the achievements and policies of the NPP, saying he would exceed previous achievements by creating a digitalized economy, introducing the flat tax system and realigning the import duty regime. 

Mr Dan Kweku Botwe, the National Campaign chairman for Dr Bawumia’s election campaign, hinted that the collaborations, which the party sought to create with the religious bodies were not solely for political reasons, but because they were prominent institutions in ensuring peace and unity among the people.
