August 31 Will Be Repeated...� Bawumia Predicts

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, 2012 running mate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) says the results Nana Akufo Addo had after the Super Delegates Congress will be �repeated� on October 18, during the National Delegates Congress. Speaking to some 61 delegates from the Western Region, Dr Mahamudu said he was �convinced that what transpired in the Special Electoral College on August 31, which saw Nana Akufo-Addo receive an 80.81% endorsement from 740 delegates, is a true reflection of what will transpire in the October 18 presidential primary�. He appealed to the delegates to once again show that there is massive support for Nana Addo in the NPP, explaining that a massive victory for Nana Akufo-Addo will give the NPP a major lift ahead of election 2016. �If out of 740 voters, who are largely founding fathers, constituency chairmen and regional executives, MPs, National Executive Committee and National Council members, 81% voted for Nana Akufo-Addo, it is a good indication that that is the will of the grassroots of the party,� he added.
