A total of 50 Women Organizers and their deputies from the Ashanti Region have formally declared their support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in his bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as flagbearer in the upcoming presidential primaries.

The endorsement came during a regional tour by Second Lady Samira Bawumia, who is engaging party stakeholders, grassroots mobilizers, and key women’s groups to rally support for Dr. Bawumia ahead of the crucial internal contest.

The Ashanti Region, traditionally a stronghold of the NPP, holds significant electoral influence, and this show of solidarity from the women organizers is seen as a major boost to Dr. Bawumia’s campaign machinery.

Speaking during the engagement, the women organizers highlighted Dr. Bawumia’s leadership qualities, grassroots appeal, and vision for sustaining the party’s development agenda as reasons for their endorsement. They also praised Samira Bawumia for her continued involvement in mobilizing the party’s base, especially women.
