NPP Primaries: Bawumia Begs For Otumfuo’s Blessings and Guidance

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia marked the Akwasidae Otumfuo Osei Tutu II celebration at the Manhyia Palace on September 3, 2023, in a traditional kente attire. He led a delegation of party officials to the event.

During this gathering, the Vice President expressed his gratitude to Otumfuo for the blessings he received during the NPP’s Super Delegates Conference on August 26. He acknowledged the role of Otumfuo’s blessings in his victory during the conference.

Dr. Bawumia recalled, “I came in peace, and today being Akwasidae, I came for a visit and to celebrate with him (Otumfuo). Again, I came here initially to ask for his blessing when I was going to contest for the flagbearership of the NPP.

He blessed me, and God also blessed his blessing, which materialized for me to win the contest on August 26, 2023.”

Beyond expressing gratitude, the Vice President sought Otumfuo’s continued blessings and prayers as he gears up for the final stage of the NPP’s presidential elections, where he faces four other candidates.

“We have another contest coming again on the 4th of November, where we are going to elect the flagbearer, and I still need his blessing. So, I came to ask for his blessing and inform him about it, that he may give me his blessings and show me the way to clinch victory,” emphasized Dr. Bawumia.

In the NPP super delegates election held on August 26, 2023, Dr. Bawumia secured 68.15 percent of the total votes cast, while the Assin Central lawmaker, Kennedy Agyapong, came in second with 14.30 percent.

Alan Kyerematen and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto garnered 10.29 percent and 3.90 percent, respectively. The final round in November will determine the NPP’s presidential candidate for the 2024 general elections.
