Bawumia shakes Akufo-Addo’s home town

Abuakwa South, the home of President Akufo-Addo showed massive support for the new leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, when he visited as part of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region.

From Abetifi in the morning and Mpraeso in the afternoon, where he had interactions with traditional rulers, market women and people on the streets, Dr Bawumia descended down the mountains to a tumultuous reception at Akyem Asafo in the Abuakwa South constituency where both young and old gathered to welcome him.

Before his arrival at Akyem Asafo, the NPP flagbearer and his entourage, first called on the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II, who along with sub-chiefs from his traditional area, welcomed Bawumia.

While Dr Bawumia paid homage to the Okyenhene, thousands, mostly young people had gathered in neighbouring Akyem Asafo waiting for the arrival of the man they hope will succeed President Akufo-Addo.

The youth, many of whom joined the milling crowds from neighbouring towns and villages on foot and on motorcycles, defied the rains and waited for Dr. Bawumia for over five hours.
