According to Freddie Blay, a former NPP chairman, the party has a high chance of winning the general elections in 2024 if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is chosen as its flagbearer.
He said the governing party has a bigger chance to stay in power if the Vice President leads them.
Freddie Blay told Kwesi Parker-Wilson of Oyerepa TV that the message from the party, even from that conference, is clear that Bawumia as the party’s leader, going into the pending general elections, gives it a far better chance.
“The party has spoken, and to some extent, that signals where the party will be going, in my opinion. For me, I was certain that was what was going to happen if one wants to be political and see things as they actually are.
“It’s not a matter of wanting, but… With Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, I believe our prospects of winning the national elections will be much better. I’m saying that firmly. I personally think it is better for the party, and that’s the best decision the party has made, based on what party members have decided and what they suggested,” he said.
