Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has taken the Central Region by storm, with a number of party delegates from the base of the party in the region publicly backing him to continue as the party's presidential candidate.

Dr. Bawumia has been engaging with NPP stakeholders in the Central Region this week, and his interactions with the party’s delegates have been characterised by declarations of unflinching support across constituencies for his bid to continue as Flagbearer.

From Awutu Senya, where he started the tour, through to Effutu, Gomoa, Asikuma Odoben Brakwa and Mfantseman Constituencies, Dr. Bawumia has been receiving public endorsements from key constituency groups, including current executives, former executives, and crucially, electoral area coordinators, who are considered strategic assets in internal campaigns.

Having received a series of open support from key groups on the first two days of his tour of the region, the strong wave of support continued for the former Vice President with more open declarations on Wednesday.

In Assikuma Odoben Brakwa, the constituency chairman, on behalf of his people, declared support for Dr. Bawumia. In Mfantseman Constituency, 37 out of 47 former constituency executives, who are now eligible to vote, declared their support, and 36 out of 34 electoral area coordinators of the Constituency also declared for the former Vice President.

"We have seen what the hardwork Dr. Bawumia has done for this party over the years; in 2012 and 2016. And he deserves the credit," said the Constituency Chairman of Assikuma Odobeng Brakwa.

Rallying his constituents, the chairman said Dr. Bawumia's proposal for inclusivity and the promotion of welfare of party members at the constituency level was appealing.

"I want to urge all of you to massively support Dr. Bawumia so that when he wins he can implement his 10 constituencies appointment for our constituency to also benefit. I believe Dr. Bawumia because he has done it before. He is unique, and he is a visionary. Above all, he is the most marketed."

Among the 37 former Mfantseman constituency executives who declared for Dr. Bawumia included two veterans, 84 and 80 year olds, described as the oldest delegates of the Constituency
