So, we want to continue this progress with Bawumia,&#8221; one trader said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My two children have benefited from Free SHS, and I will vote for the NPP and Bawumia,&#8221; another added, echoing the sentiments of many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some traders criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President John Mahama for their stance on the Free SHS policy, accusing them of inconsistency and dishonesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We cannot trust Mahama and the NDC with Free SHS and the future of our children because we know what they said about it in the past. That reveals their true intentions,&#8221; a trader stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The improved state of the Mallam Atta Market was also highlighted as a reason for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This market used to be in very poor condition. Whenever it rained, it was extremely difficult for us to operate. But now it has been developed with better roads and facilities. This is another reason we will be voting for the NPP,&#8221; a trader remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Bawumia\u2019s visit to the market demonstrated his commitment to engaging with local communities and addressing their concerns, further solidifying his support base among traders and market women in the region.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traders at the popular Mallam Atta Market in Accra have declared their unwavering support for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, praising his efforts to advance the country&#8217;s development and improve their welfare.
