The Ashanti Region’s Kumawu electorate has been urged by Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to cast their votes for Mr. Ernest Yaw Anim, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate in the next by-election.
At the late MP Philip Basoah’s funeral on Saturday, President Nana Akufo-Addo and other senior government officials were there. Dr. Bawumia afterwards told NPP supporters: “In this by-election, we want the whole of Ghana to know that Kumawu is NPP’s territory.”
“With love, come out in your numbers to vote for our parliamentary candidate Ernest Yaw Anim to win this by-election,” said Dr. Bawumia.
The applicant, according to him, “will ensure Kumawu is developed” and is “humble, hard-working, and intelligent.”
I really like him, let’s all vote for him, boom boom, Dr. Bawumia said.
The main opposition National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) Kwasi Amankwa, well known as Tom Cee, would face off against the NPP candidate.
Philip Basoah, the Kumawu MP, passed away in March of this year.
In 2012, he was first elected to the legislature.
