Farouk Aliu Mahama has assured Bawumia a 50% vote in the northern region in the December election.
In the December presidential and parliamentary elections, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) hopes to garner 50% of the votes in the Northern Region, according to Farouk Aliu Mahama, the Member of Parliament for Yendi.
He credits the noteworthy progress the region has achieved toward development over the last seven and a half years under the NPP’s leadership for this audacious ambition.
Key infrastructure expenditures were emphasized by Mr. Mahama, including those in roads, healthcare facilities, educational facilities, human resource development, electricity of rural areas, and business expansion.
He also commended Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate, for his credibility and progressive ideas, which he believes will be essential in reaching this goal, in an interview with Asaase Radio on Friday, July 19.
Mr. Mahama expressed confidence that these accomplishments, along with Dr. Bawumia’s strong credentials, will strengthen the NPP’s efforts to secure half of the votes in the Northern Region.
“This time, we are aiming for 50% of the votes in the north. Our projection is realistic because John Mahama received significantly more votes than the NPP in the 2020 elections. Dr. Bawumia’s message focuses on evidence-based development. In Ghana’s history, no government has constructed a 168 km road in northern Ghana, but the NPP government broke that record,” he emphasized.
“The Vice President initiated the World Bank project, which funded the construction of the road from Tamale to Yendi, extending to Zabzugu and Tatale. No government has ever done that,” he added.
