If current vice president Bawumia is named the party’s flagbearer, pollster and managing editor of the Dispatch newspaper Ben Ephson feels the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a strong chance of winning the 2024 general elections.
Given that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has amassed support over time from both the Christian and Muslim communities, he is convinced that if Dr Bawumia were to lead the NPP, he would easily break the eight.
The NPP and National Democratic Congress have not yet selected the torchbearers for the 2024 presidential elections. (NPP).
In the meantime, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is steadily making progress in the next NPP flagbearership race thanks to the support of roughly 80 NPP Members of Parliament (MPs).Ben Ephson stressed in an interview with Onua TV that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is far and away the best candidate for the NPP and that the party will be able to easily win a substantial victory as a result.
He has offered proof to back up his claims that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, despite being a Muslim, has effectively interacted with Christians using his office, and that might be enough to do wonders.
“If Bawumia is made the flagbearer of NPP, he comes with two main advantages; that is many Christians feel comfortable with him even though he is a Muslim and Muslims who used to vote for the NDC would switch and vote for NPP.”
