The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Dormaa East, Paul Apraku Twum Barimah, has stated that the campaign strategy of the 2024 flag bearer of the NPP, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is dazing members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He said the grassroots tactics of Vice-President Dr Bawumia, which included a face-to-face, street-to-street and door-to-door approach resonated with the people evidenced by the large crowds the Vice-President continued to attract.
“Dr Bawumia is doing something extraordinary in his campaign tour. Walking on the streets and meeting food vendors, shop operators and commuters, as well as taxi and “Trotro” drivers is very strategic and is giving the NPP the numbers,” he added.
Mr Barimah was speaking to journalists in Accra on the campaign strategy adopted by Dr Bawumia.
The Vice-President began his campaign tour on Monday, April 29, 2024 and has already visited the Eastern, Western, Ashanti, Bono East, Bono, Northern, Upper East regions and some parts of the Greater Accra.
He has been meeting and interacting with religious leaders, traditional rulers, as well as ordinary citizens to engage in discussions, while introducing his policies and vision ahead of the December 7 general election.
Mr Barimah said Dr Bawumia was recording a huge following not solely because of his ground-level campaign strategy but also because people were interested in his policies and programmes.
“The campaign message the Vice-President is rolling out is stunning and gets to attract and pull the people along. The increasing numbers on the campaign tour is good for the party and we are replicating it in all the regions to sell the good message of the party,” he said.
