Several party executives, including the National Chairman, the General Secretary, National Organiser, the National Youth Organiser some ministers, and other members of Parliament, joined the Presidential Candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the ”Ofie Walk.”

The message was simple: ”Move from house to sell the good news of the government to the people.” The Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, told the party supporters that his policies are transformational for Ghana’s future.
“Our competitors always see impossibilities, but we say it is possible. I believe the country can achieve whatever it sets its mind to do.”

“Whatever the western world has achieved, can also be replicated in Ghana and Africa as a whole. It is possible.”
The Member of Parliament for the Akuapem North Constituency. Sammy Awuku, told the supporters to gird up their loins and work until victory is won.
“The Free SHS policy was described as an impossible mission by the opposition, but today they claim they are the ones who implemented it,” he noted.
Mr Awuku retorted, “Ghana has a future in Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. The elections ahead of us is an election between Ghana’s future and its past.”
The Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is in the Eastern Region as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour.
