The Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on Sunday stole the show at the Heroes’ Park in Kumasi as the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) holds its annual national delegates’ conference.
The popularity and charisma of Bawumia within the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party came to the fore as his presence was announced – a spectacle political watchers say sends a strong signal about his popularity and the upcoming NPP flagbearership contest.
Bawumia was accompanied by all Members of Parliament of the host region, Ashanti Region. Flanked by his wife Samira, the Ashanti parliamentarians followed him to the dais as he exchanged pleasantries with fellow party faithful.
Also present at the conference were President Nana Akufo-Addo and other national executives of the NPP.
Over 6000 delegates are attending the conference to consider 38 proposed amendments to the party’s constitution.
