Ashanti Regional NDC Adwengo Adwosuo Declares To Vote For Bawumia

Members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), numbering hundreds, at the Adwengo Adwosuo have defected to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region.

The staunch NDC members openly declared their intention to vote for the ruling party during a grass roots campaign visit by the Ashanti Regional Chairman of NPP, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

According to them, their intention to vote for the NPP presidential candidate, H.E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is stemmed from the fact that he has good and superior policies for the country.

They however stressed his religious background has no bearing on their decision to vote for him.

“We are NDC members but we’re voting for Dr. Bawumia in the coming general elections. His policies are good and we are therefore voting for him”, they said.

They further explained they have benefited immensely from the Free SHS and find it right to vote for the NPP to receive more of such progressive policies.

“Let us confess, we’ve benefited from the Free SHS. Through that we were able to enroll our kids at St. Louis and Yaa Asantewaa without committing resources. Ghanaians have really benefited from the Free SHS policy, that’s why we’ve resolved to vote for the NPP for more of such initiatives to be implemented.”

Subsequently, the NDC members were given T-shirts with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia embossed on them.

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP is currently touring the Region on a grassroots campaign for the party’s presidential candidate.

Several defections from the opposition NDC to the NPP have been reported in the course of the tour.

Chairman Wontumi has vowed to record an unprecedented huge margin in the December 7 elections and widen the gap in the party’s stronghold.
