The Member of Parliament for Atwima Kwanwoma, Kofi Amankwa-Manu has expressed his unwavering support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, even if it means losing his own seat.
In an interview with Kwesi Parker-Wilson on Oyerepa Breakfast Time, the lawmaker emphasized that Dr. Bawumia is the best candidate to lead the country.
“I have a good relationship with all ten aspirants. I eat with them, and some of them are even related to me through my grandfather’s side in Asokore Mampong,” the MP stated.
However, he believes that the current state of the country requires a leader like Dr. Bawumia who can bring about positive change. “When Dr. Bawumia is elected as flagbearer, things will be easier for us,” he added.
The MP also made it clear that he is not concerned about losing his seat for supporting Dr. Bawumia.
“I won’t mind losing my seat if the NPP wins the 2024 elections. I firmly believe that Dr. Bawumia’s victory will benefit the party as a whole,” he asserted.
He further highlighted the overwhelming support for the vice president in his constituency, stating, “I can confidently say that the majority of people in Atwima Kwanwoma support Dr. Bawumia. The reception he received during his recent visit was amazing.”
The MP clarified that he was not influenced by anyone, including the majority leader, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonus, to support the vice president.
“I have never discussed this with the majority leader. I don’t believe in the whip system in Parliament. I was brought up to speak my mind, but in a respectful manner. I don’t think someone can convince me to support someone against my own beliefs,” he explained.
In today’s global landscape, we yearn for a leader with a clear vision. Within the 4th Republic, Dr. Bawumia stands as the sole vice president who has demonstrated unwavering commitment and proactivity. His endeavors are undeniably beneficial for the future of our nation. If you have such an exceptional individual, why should we seek an alternative?” The MP asked.
