New Patriotic Party (NPP) members in the Oti Region have been urged to consider the party's progress by supporting a leader who has demonstrated competence and has been better marketed, rather than being swayed by the lure of money.

Welcoming Dr. Bawumia to the Oti Region on Friday, November 7, the Regional Chairman of the NPP,  Evans Yaw Dapaah, said some flagbearer hopefuls have been going around bragging about their wealth, but he warned that the January 31 election of a flagbearer for the 2028 election, should not be about who is offering more money.

"Some of the aspirants have been going round bragging that they have money. This contest is not about how wealthy someone is so please don't fall for their deception," the chairman said.

He urged party members to emulate the National Democratic Congress, who consistently backed now President John Mahama without considering money.

"The NDC believed in Mahama and backed him without considering money. I remember during their congress in 2022, Mahama offered the delegates GH¢40 transport, but they voted massively for him."

"The person we know and believe can bring power to the NPP in 2028 is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He is the most marketed person who can bring us victory, so let us all rally behind him and vote massively for him, just as the NDC did for Mahama, without being influenced by money", he said.

Dr. Bawumia began his campaign tour of the Oti Region on Friday, November 7.
