I am also thankful to the delegates for the overwhelming confidence they have shown in me,” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the significance of his win, viewing it as a strong indication of support from the delegates. He acknowledged the responsibility of uniting the party following the internal contest, stressing the importance of cohesion as they prepare for the main election in 2024.
“This is only the first step towards our march to the flagbearership. I see this as a step towards winning the flagbearership,” Dr. Bawumia asserted, highlighting the ultimate goal of securing victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Urging unity among the party members, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the need to maintain solidarity and support the eventual winner of the internal elections. “We should unite together and close ranks so that we fight together after the internal elections and win the main election,” he remarked confidently.
