The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has drawn a sharp contrast between the administration of former President John Mahama and the current NPP government, highlighting significant strides under his party’s leadership.

Speaking to supporters in the Northern Region, Dr Bawumia contrasted the chalk shortages during Mahama’s tenure with the NPP government’s provision of laptops to students, portraying it as a symbol of progress and innovation.

He urged voters to view the 2024 election as a choice between stagnation and forward-thinking development, asserting that the NPP has a clear and ambitious vision for Ghana’s future.

Emphasising on him being the ideal leader for Ghana, Dr. Bawumia also stated, “This election is about who can deliver the transformation Ghana needs, and I am confident that I am the better choice for the future of our country.”

“In his time, there was no chalk in schools. We are buying tablets for school children. Every child will get one. No one will be left out. We are even buying laptops for teachers. We are buying it for teachers from Kindergarten to SHS”, he further remarked

Dr. Bawumia’s tour took him to Tolon, Kumbungu, and Tamale South. Of the three constituencies, Tolon is represented by NPP MP Habib Iddrisu.

In Kumbungu, the NPP has made significant progress, improving its parliamentary performance from 15.2% in 2016 to 40.8% in 2020. Meanwhile, Tamale South, which is the constituency of NDC’s Haruna Iddrisu, remains firmly in NDC control.
