Bernard Allotey Jacobs has commended the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) special delegates on voting massively for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to top the list of five candidates who are to compete in the party's November 4 presidential election.
The New Patriotic Party's Special Delegates Conference last Saturday saw the Vice President poll 629 votes out of 961 votes to come first while his contenders, Kennedy Agyapong, Alan Kyerematen and Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto got 132, 95 and 36 votes respectively.
The party will on Saturday, September 2 conduct a run-off to decide the fate of two other aspirants; former Energy Minister, Boakye Agyarko and a leading member of the NPP, Thomas Addai Nimoh, who both polled 9 votes.
Speaking on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show Wednesday morning, Allotey Jacobs reposed full confidence in Dr. Bawumia to be a major threat to the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) during the 2024 election.
He believed Dr. Bawumia will cause an "earthquake" in the 2024 election.
". . Heaven and earth has taken a decision that Bawumia is the chosen one...the earth will shake and the major part will depend on the two people from the Northern Region. So, who owns Northern Region? Now, this is the dynamics that is going to change everything in 2024," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi.
Further urging the NPP to settle on the Vice President, he stressed "sometimes, you put your pride away. You put your ambitions away. For the sake of your party and the victory of your party, you all come together, move as one people with one common destiny and then you can break the eight in 2024".
To him, next year's general election will be "a clash of the Northern Titans", thus between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and NDC Presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama who are both northerners.

The NDC is a social democratic party and I often hear some of the big shots proclaiming the party as such, but surprisingly I have not heard or seen any social policies implemented by the party when in government. I would wholeheartedly advise some elements of the NDC to take off their party glasses and take their own advice on the policies, if any, they have unveiled and implemented. The digitalisation programme launched by Vice President Bawumia is very critical given our huge informal workforce that cannot be identified let alone taxed. This application of modern technology to leapfrog our infrastructure deficit needs an innovative and forward thinking leader like Dr Bawumia. I would like to advise the naysayers and the NDC cohorts who see nothing good in the NPP Akufo Addo government to appreciate that Ghanaians have a different opinion despite the hardships they are going through. The Akufo Addo government isn't afraid of that and is determined to turn the economy around as it did in the first term. After all, they know and accept the hardships that are at stake and it is indeed a global problem, not just Ghanaian.
And who told you Bawumia will win .For now money and favor is with him but in November he will be in the third position.
This is why the Kwasi Pratts don’t like Bawumia to win the Npp primaries. It is obvious that Moslem Northner Bawumia can beat Mahama in the Moslem dominated in the then Northern region. 4 years vrs 8 years presidency, who has got the chance to sell his message to our brothers and sisters in the North? The small boy advert for Kofi tv says “ Kofi tv ye hunu clear” When Bawumia beats Mahama in the North, what will be the pathway for Mahama’s victory?
Bawumia will finish the corrupt John Ford Airbus Mahama.
