The just ended NPP Presidential Election, which saw Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia win the NPP Flagbearership, cannot pass without a close observation of how NPP Female-MPs from the Ashanti region garnered massive votes for the Vice President that contributed highly to his historic victory.
Dr. Bawumia made history on Saturday, November 4th 2023, with 61.43% of valid votes to become the first NPP Vice President to win a major contest to emerge as the Party’s obvious choice to face John Mahama and the NDC in the Ghana 2024 General Elections next year.
It had long been predicted Bawumia was going to win but the elections indeed lived up to the already charged showdown atmosphere as anticipated against his closest rival Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
Ken Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central came second with 37.41%.
Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto came third with 0.76% while Francis Addai Nimoh was last with 0.41%.
It is worth noting that from all the indicators and fall-out, the female MPs in Ashanti Region have demonstrated readiness to once again lead the charge to activate in full swing the biggest dream of the NPP to break the status quo of Ghana’s 8-year political cycle dubbed ‘BreakingThe8.’
Below is the full details of how votes from NPP Women-led Constituencies in the Ashanti Region worked the magic for the chosen one Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia:
1) Juaben (Hon Ama Pomaa Boateng)
