Bernard Allotey Jacobs has once again cautioned the New Patriotic Party not to make a mistake of choosing any presidential candidate apart from Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the party makes its way to elect their flagbearer on November 4.

Allotey Jacobs, who had before the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Special Delegates Conference on August 26, 2023, forewarned the party against failing to elect Dr. Bawumia and the regrets they would have as a result, has justified why the latter is their best bet to winning the 2024 elections.

According to him, electing Dr. Bawumia will ruin the chances of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main competitor of the ruling party, in winning next year's election.

"Bawumia's flagbearership will be the biggest threat to the existence of the NDC . . . the emergence of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will be a threat to President John Mahama," he exclaimed.

The former NDC Central Regional Chairman explained that Bawumia's candidature will send a strong signal to the northern sectors of Ghana and win massive votes for the New Patriotic Party, reiterating the 2024 election will be a "clash of the Northern Titans".

He noted that Bawumia's hard work, popularity and impact in the North is unmatched, hence "if the NPP gives their maximum support for Bawumia, there's trouble for the largest opposition party".

Allotey added that he chooses Bawumia because he is "the best material that can change the Ghanaian perception, that can change the Ghanaian dynamics, that can change a lot of things in our political space".

He gave this admonition to the New Patriotic Party while speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show Wednesday morning.
