Work done by NPP will win December 7 election, not insults - Bawumia

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will win the December 7 election because of its track record in government, and that no amount of insults from former President Mahama will prevent it from retaining power come December 7.

“What I see on my tour of the country indicates that NPP will win the elections on December 7, and this is underpinned by the work done by the NPP government,” Dr Bawumia said, in Goaso in the Asunafo North Constituency of the Ahafo Region.

Dr Bawumia who spoke in Akan said former President Mahama had begun insulting during his campaign tours, contrary to the guidelines outlined for campaigning that required all presidential candidates in this year’s elections to use decent language.

“Atam didie no ahye ase…atam didie no ahye ase…Asantefuo bu ebe bi ser: 'Kasatintin nnt) P)nk)', literally means “Long talk can’t buy a horse”…”na me de beka ho no se…atamdidie nnto p)nk),” to wit,” insults cannot buy a horse.”

Dr Bawumia made these comments in reference to the recent remarks made by former President Mahama, who cited former US President Bill Clinton’s quotation in the 1992 Election, which contained vulgar language like… “The elections is about the economy, you stupid!”.

Mr. Mahama’s comments were in reaction to five questions he posed to the NPP Flagbearer, Dr Bawumia, concerning the management of the country’s economy.

However, Dr Bawumia, while responding to Mr. Mahama’s five questions, also posed 50 questions to him.

This might have infuriated Mr. Mahama, thus igniting another rebuttal from him.

Dr Bawumia said despite the insults from the former president, the NPP would win the December elections because the NPP government had delivered on its promises to the people, and the electorate would reward them in the December 7 polls.

The NPP Flagbearer cited some infrastructure projects ongoing in the Ahafo Region, including the ongoing construction of a university, hospital and the asphalting of urban roads.

Dr Bawumia stated that the FSHS policy had increased secondary school enrolment from 800,000 to 1.4 million, with 5.7 million children of school going age benefitting from the police, so far.
