Flagbearer hopeful of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is afraid of his candidature.<\/p>\n
Dr Bawumia insists the opposition party knows he is the only that can defeat their candidate in the 2024 polls.<\/p>\n
According to him, the NDC knows that with him on the NPP\u2019s ticket, Mr Mahama cannot claim the Northern Region.<\/p>\n
He has thus asked delegates of the NPP to vote massively for him to lead the party into the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know we will break the 8, and they know that John Mahama cannot take me on in the North, and they know that I will beat him in the North and this is why they don\u2019t want me to be the flagbearer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Bawumia said on Monday, June 19, when he addressed NPP delegates in the Tema West constituency of the Greater Accra Region.<\/p>\n
The New Patriotic Party will elect its flagbearer for the 2024 polls on November 4.<\/p>\n
So far, about 10 aspirants including the Vice President have picked nominations forms to contest for the slot, while five of them have successfully filed. Vetting is expected soon.<\/p>\n
