As an example, he cited the ongoing dispute over parliamentary seats, particularly the controversy surrounding the majority status in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>This dispute arose after a ruling party member, Cynthia Morrison, decided to run as an independent candidate in her constituency, a move the NDC leveraged in claiming majority status.<\/p>\n<p>Afenyo-Markin urged NPP parliamentary candidates and supporters to remain steadfast, highlighting Dr. Bawumia\u2019s leadership qualities and focused campaign. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMomentum is on our side. Momentum is on the side of the NPP. Everyone can attest to the fact that since Dr. Bawumia started campaigning, he hasn\u2019t insulted anybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach time he mounts a platform, he communicates what he wants to do for Ghanaians. This is the man you need to give an opportunity to. This is the man you need to test to see what he can do,\u201d he implored.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP continues to advocate for Dr. Bawumia as a visionary leader capable of addressing Ghana\u2019s challenges, positioning him as a stark contrast to what they describe as the NDC\u2019s disorganised approach to governance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia [L] and Afenyo-Markin The majority leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, compared John Mahama and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasising the NPP flagbearer\u2019s conduct on the campaign trail.
