Asenso-Boakye highlighted Dr. Bawumia\u2019s active engagement in governance and readiness to lead, positioning him as a preferable choice for Ghanaians in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>During the NPP event, Asenso-Boakye also commended Samuel Abu Jinapor, the incumbent Damongo MP, as a diligent and dedicated young leader committed to advancing the welfare of his constituents. Encouraging voters to throw their support behind Jinapor in the 2024 elections, Asenso-Boakye emphasized the importance of sustaining the region\u2019s development trajectory under capable leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering witnessed speeches from notable NPP figures including Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister for Chieftaincy and Culture; Fatimatu Abubakar, Information Minister designate; the party\u2019s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Koduah, and other dignitaries who echoed the party\u2019s commitment to progress and development.<\/p>\n<p>As the political landscape continues to evolve in Ghana, the contrasting views espoused by political figures like Asenso-Boakye signal an intensifying electoral discourse ahead of the upcoming elections, with leadership preparedness and governance effectiveness emerging as key focal points in shaping the public debate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 In a recent political gathering hosted by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to acclaim Samuel Abu Jinapor as a parliamentary candidate for Damongo, Francis Asenso-Boakye, Minister for Roads and Highways and Member of Parliament for Bantama, made striking remarks questioning former President John Mahama\u2019s readiness for the presidency, particularly in light of his recent [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":152967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mahama Unprepared To Lead In 2025;
