New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has pledged to institutionalize grassroots participation in his administration by holding annual constituency meetings across the country if he is elected President.
Dr. Bawumia made the commitment while touring the Bono Region, where he visited the Banda, Tain, and Wenchi constituencies as part of his nationwide engagement with NPP delegates ahead of the party’s presidential primaries.
The Vice President stressed that his goal as President would be to bring governance closer to the people through direct and consistent engagement.
“If I am elected President, I will make time to regularly engage with the party’s grassroots,” he said. “Just as former President Kufuor did, I will dedicate at least one day each year to meet directly with members at the constituency level through town-hall-style meetings.”
He explained that these interactions would allow ordinary party members and citizens to voice their challenges and expectations directly to the President.
“These interactions will allow me to listen to your concerns firsthand and work on them. This is how we will stay connected, and I will ensure that as President, your voices are heard and your issues are addressed,” Dr. Bawumia assured delegates, emphasizing that inclusive governance is vital for national development.
