The Fomer Aide to President John Mahama, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has said that the incumbent New Patriotic Party ?NPP) has for the maiden time elected the worst Presidential candidate in the history of the party.
The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP )on Saturday November 4, elected Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia as the party’s flagbearer ahead of the 2024 polls.
Mr. Bawumia secured 118,210 votes in the Presidential race which had 204,144 delegates casting their ballot.
The Vice President over the years has lambasted former President John Mahama of his abysmal failure to fix the economy of the country during his administration.
“You have presided in eight years over the collapse of our economy. If you knew the plan that will work for the economy and be successful, why haven’t you implemented that plan in eight years, why?” the Vice President quizzed.
In response to the Vice President’s statement, Mr. Kwakye indicated that Mr. Bawumia’s own words in the past will be his downfall, adding the self acclaimed economic wizard has rather propelled the country into economic hardship as he Dr Bawumia being the Head of the economic management team.
“NPP delegates have elected the worst NPP Presidential candidate ever. Nearly 40% of NPP folks do not like him and rightly so, because his own words of the past will be his undoing,” Mr. Ofosu said in a tweet.
