Dr. Bawumia Donates GH¢100,000 to Injured NPP Polling Station Agent

Former Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has extended financial support to Bernard Mensah, a polling station agent who sustained severe injuries during the 2024 elections in the Twifo Atti-Morkwa constituency.

Dr Bawumia donated GH¢100,000 to Bernard, who reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries while attempting to fix streetlight bulbs on poles during the election campaign season. His injuries required extensive medical care, resulting in the maiming of his left hand, with visible scars on his arm and left leg.

To deliver the donation, Dr Bawumia delegated Central Regional NPP Chairman, Percival Quaicoe, who presented the amount on his behalf.

During the presentation, Mr Quaicoe commended Bernard for his dedication and sacrifice for the party.

“Bernard’s selflessness and commitment, even at great personal risk, exemplify the patriotism that propels our party and nation forward. We stand with him in this difficult time and will continue to support him as he recovers,” he said.

In addition to the financial support, Dr Bawumia personally spoke with Bernard over the phone, offering words of encouragement.

“I saw your pictures, and I felt very sad. It’s not easy—you have been through a lot, but God is good. You nearly lost your life,” Dr Bawumia told him.

“I want you to know that I am here for you. I have sent a small amount to assist you, but beyond that, you can reach out to me for any further help if needed.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Bernard Mensah expressed his deep appreciation for the former Vice President’s generosity. He extended heartfelt blessings to Dr Bawumia for his kindness and support during this challenging time.
