NPP will win majority of orphan seats, says Bawumia

The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mahamudu Bawumia is optimistic that the party will recapture majority of the orphan seats after holding successful parliamentary primaries for those constituencies.

The party elected parliamentary candidates for 111 orphan constituencies in a generally peaceful exercise across Ghana on Saturday.

After the internal contest, Bawumia wrote on Facebook that “I am very impressed by the quality of candidates chosen to represent our party in these constituencies… I am confident that we will succeed in securing these seats through our sustained unity and collective efforts.”

He called on the party to remain determined and united in the lead up to the 2024 elections.

“With great determination and collective working spirit, we are going to win a majority of these orphan seats during the 2024 general election. To keep our momentum and to accomplish victory, we need to stay united from the grassroots down to the highest levels of leadership,” Bawumia said.
