The running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, has called on the people of Wenchi in the Bono Region to honour the memory of former Prime Minister Dr Kofi Abrefa Busia by securing a victory for the NPP in the 2024 election.
NAPO made these remarks during his campaign visit to Wenchi, where he laid a wreath in memory of the esteemed politician.
While touring Wenchi, a town and constituency of significant importance to the NPP’s political tradition, NAPO’s team engaged with chiefs, the clergy, Muslims, and residents.
NAPO urged Nananom and the clergy to pray for the NPP and to offer guidance where necessary in their public service to the people.
The Wenchi constituency has been a stronghold for the NPP since its inception until it was won by the NDC in 2020.
In light of this, NAPO reminded residents of Dr. Busia’s contributions to the country and the Progress Party, which led to the formation of the NPP and produced former President Kufuor and President Akufo-Addo. He emphasized that a vote for Bawumia would honour Dr Busia’s legacy.
He encouraged the gathering to consider the remarkable work done by the government and to vote massively for Dr Bawumia and the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the area, Kojo Frempong.
Mr Frempong pledged his commitment to reclaim the seat for the NPP and called for support from the chiefs and the people to ensure a resounding victory in December.
The Omanhene of Wenchi, Nana Ampem Anye Amoampong Tabrako III, commended NAPO for his achievements in the sectors he supervised in government.
He also highlighted some of the challenges facing the people and called for government support.
