Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s momentum in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries continued on Tuesday, with fresh endorsements from electoral area coordinators in the Greater Accra Region.

On the second day of his Greater Accra tour, the wave of declarations that began on Monday extended to two constituencies, as electoral area coordinators publicly endorsed Dr Bawumia as their preferred candidate.

In Ashaiman, where Dr Bawumia received an electrifying welcome, 21 out of the 32 electoral area coordinators declared their unflinching support for him.

The coordinators said their decision followed consultations with their respective polling station executives, who expressed a clear preference for Dr Bawumia.

Later in Tema East, another emphatic declaration was made, with 23 out of the 24 electoral area coordinators in the constituency announcing their support.

“We are here as coordinators to declare our unflinching support for you, Your Excellency, the former Vice President and, God willing, the incoming President,” one of the coordinators said.

“We were 25, but one has passed on. Out of the remaining 24, one is not with us, so the 23 of us present have all decided to declare our support for Dr Bawumia,” he added.

The coordinators explained that their endorsement reflected the collective will of their polling station executives, following extensive consultations.

“We consulted our polling station executives, and they made their choice clear. As coordinators, we cannot disappoint them, so we are here to declare for Dr Bawumia,” another coordinator stated.

They further asserted that Tema East was firmly in support of Dr Bawumia.

Following the declaration, delegates in the Tema East Constituency refused to allow Dr Bawumia to campaign to them, insisting that they had already made up their minds and saw no need for him to address them.

Dr Bawumia, who is widely tipped to win the NPP primaries, has been receiving a steady wave of endorsements from electoral area coordinators across the country.

Within the NPP’s electoral college, electoral area coordinators are regarded as key grassroots figures who work closely with polling station executives. As such, their declarations are often seen as reflective of broader support at the polling station level.
