Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah has queried critics who accuse Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of being an establishment candidate.
Opponents of the Vice President in the NPP Presidential race suggest that Dr. Bawumia is receiving preferential treatment and support from high-ranking members within the party and government.
It may be recalled that Mr Boakye Agyarko claimed Dr. Bawumia is a candidate the Jubilee House and everyone supports . . . "I was asked if there was an establishment candidate, meaning a candidate the Jubilee House and everyone supports and I replied in the affirmative, that indeed that candidate was Vice President Bawumia”.
Simon Osei Mensah speaking in a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' suggested even if the claim is true, there's nothing wrong with it.
" . . I've heard people talking about establishment candidate; he (Bawumia) was given the opportunity to serve and he took advantage of that to promote himself and because of that he has a lot of following. Let's even say the establishment candidate factor is true, is it wrong? If the President sees him (Bawumia) capable why not; assuming the establishment candidate is true . . . I don't see anything wrong with that. But in this case, he (Bawumia) worked hard on his own to get to where he is," he averred.

NDCfoo mo wo problem paa. NDC will totally lose 2024 election because NDC have no message to Ghanaians. What’s NDC message to Ghanaians. NDC always insulting and insulting is not message. Insulting can’t bring you in to power.
You do not step on the p.enis of a blind man twice, so say the sages. Ghanaians may be tsupid but no that tsupid to allow bawumia to be president of this country! He has lied to us once or twice but not the third time! Never! Ghanaians must unite to ensure this never happens! Boni b3n? Aporo y3 kankan! ewifuo! trimudenfuo!
When i hear this Bawumia guy wanting to be president i laugh. What else is he coming to do? take way our pensions? devalue the cedi further? or mock us?. May the good Lord not allow such a lier to ever ascend the throne off this country. ***barred word*** man who presided over the economic management team which he touted as excellent an ended up messing up our lives. Inflation, depreciation of the cedi, hair cut. That old disappointing president will want him to be president so he can still control him. MAY GOD PREVENT THIS CATASTROPHY FROM COMING TO POWER. ISSAH ALLAH
