New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in the Tema East Constituency showed former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia overwhelming support on Tuesday when they asked him not to “waste time” campaigning to them.
Dr Bawumia, whose nationwide campaign has entered the Greater Accra Region, visited the constituency as part of his outreach to party delegates.
However, in a striking display of endorsement, NPP delegates and members who had packed the auditorium prevented the former Vice President from delivering his campaign address.
They explained that they had already made up their minds to vote overwhelmingly for him, insisting that there was therefore no need for him to campaign to them.
Delegates gave Dr Bawumia a rousing reception, chanting his name amid repeated choruses of “Bawumia, no change,” which echoed through the auditorium.
Despite his attempts to speak, the delegates stood firm, maintaining that addressing them would be unnecessary since their decision was already settled.
To underscore their position, 23 out of the 24 electoral area coordinators in the constituency openly declared their support for Dr Bawumia, stating that their endorsement reflected the collective choice of their respective polling station executives.
