Three grassroots members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) namely, Samuel Boateng, Bertha Affum, Gafaru Nuhu have called on the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to instruct his team to pull down all his posters geared towards the 2024 general election.
According to the NPP grassroots, they have seen posters of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia claimed to champion his submission for the flagbearership position which shouldn’t be done at this point in time.
A statement issued by the three grassroots noted “It is obvious that the new patriotic party cannot afford to lose the 2024 general elections. Especially when our party under President Akufo Addo’s headship has put down a tough foundation to consolidate development.
“Why would Dr Bawumia and his team deliberately disobey the party’s rules and regulations when they are very much aware that it is against the NPP constitution for any party member to begin flooding posters across the nation against an election which is meant to be held in 2023,” they quizzed.
If party members who would want to contest for the position of polling station executive, constituency executive, member of parliament, and national executive in 2022 haven’t begun pasting pictures, then, the vice president must know better,” the grassroots said.
The grassroots according to them see this worried action of the vice president and his team as one which is meant to achieve two things:
“We grassroots members who want our party to stay in power for a very long time and for that matter take a strong exception to the action of the vice president and therefore call on him to publicly disassociate himself from the said action if he’s not the one sponsoring it and subsequently instruct his people to pull down all the posters in question.
Failure to do so will leave us grassroots members with only one option and that is to remove all posters of dr. Mahamudu Bawumia geared towards the 2023 NPP congress.
