As for me, I\u2019ll come back in 2028 so I would ensure I do my best for you all. So everyone must campaign very well as stated earlier. Today, we are going door to door, house to house to campaign to bring victory. It is possible, we are going to break the eight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also addressed concerns regarding excavator burning and national service, stating that the party will focus on implementing effective policies rather than burning miners\u2019 equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bawumia clarified that National Service will no longer be mandatory, allowing those who find employment upon graduation to forego the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational Service is no longer going to be mandatory. If you complete school and you get a job, go for it, you don\u2019t need national service. Unlike Mahama who is bringing old solutions, not bold solutions. He\u2019s bring failed solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Abetifi Constituency MP and Minister of Agriculture, Dr Bryan Yaw Acheampong, expressed confidence that Ghanaians would not vote based on the current economic challenges.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that the situation will improve before the elections, enabling the NPP to secure a significant number of votes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia says the aggressive campaign strategy of moving door to door and window to window to preach the achievement of his government to electorates is a sure possible way of breaking the 8.
