Five Paramount Chiefs from the Nadowli-Kaleo District in Ghana’s Upper West Region have publicly endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the presidency.
In a collective statement delivered on their behalf, they cited their confidence in his leadership and vision for national development.
The Chiefs highlighted recent developmental strides in their district, such as upgraded feeder roads, new bridges, and improved road infrastructure, which have notably enhanced accessibility and spurred economic activities in the region.
During a constituency-focused campaign event at Kaleo on July 24, 2024, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia engaged with local chiefs and opinion leaders.
The Chiefs expressed their gratitude for the government’s efforts and pledged overwhelming support for Dr Bawumia as the NPP presidential candidate. They affirmed, “Mr. Vice President, we pledge the support of the Chiefs and good people of Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency to vote massively for you to become the President of the Republic of Ghana. We believe in your leadership and vision for our nation.”
In response, Dr Bawumia thanked the Chiefs for their endorsement and reiterated his commitment to empowering traditional authorities.
He pledged to facilitate the review of Section 63 of the Constitution, which grants adjudicatory powers to Chiefs, aiming to resolve disputes locally and expedite justice delivery.
Additionally, Dr Bawumia promised to implement a Living Wage policy for Paramount and Divisional Chiefs and their Queens under a potential NPP administration.
The endorsement from the Nadowli-Kaleo Chiefs underscores Dr Bawumia’s growing support base and highlights key local priorities ahead of the upcoming presidential elections in Ghana.
