Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Asiamah Amoako, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as its flagbearer for election 2028, saying that Ghanaians are naturally sympathetic towards him.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Adansi Asokwa on Wednesday, September 10, Mr Asiamah explained that despite the ridicule and criticism Dr Bawumia has endured, many people still view him with compassion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we look at the defeat of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and consider how we have ridiculed him, maligned him, and spoken ill of him, it has left many people silent. But the truth is, they remain sympathetic towards him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to the Second Deputy Speaker, this sympathy gives Dr Bawumia an edge that the party should not ignore. \u201cGhanaians naturally show sympathy for those who are mocked and ridiculed. Dr Bawumia is one such person, and today I present him to you as an example,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He urged the NPP to reflect on this and throw their support behind the Vice President. \u201cNPP faithfuls, I do not speak often, but when you take time to reflect on these things, you will realise that the party is better off presenting someone who is so sympathetic to Ghanaians. So I beg of you, let us all support him,\u201d he appealed.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Dr Bawumia\u2019s qualities, Mr Asiamah mentioned his knowledge, experience, and resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have said so many things, but when it comes to knowledge and experience, this man has them. What I want to emphasise is that Ghanaians believe Dr Bawumia has truly suffered. We have criticised him greatly, and because of this, it is only right that we honour him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Asiamah called for unity within the party to project Dr Bawumia as the candidate capable of restoring Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us all come together to lift him up so that Ghanaians can acknowledge his resilience and honour him. With this, Ghana will be restored,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
