Bawumia has changed 'turbulent' political landscape with his campaign of issues - Paramount Chief of Peki

The Paramount Chief of the Peki Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, has commended Vice President and NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for engaging in a decent, issue-based campaign.

Welcoming Dr. Bawumia to Peki in the South Dayi Constituency as part of the NPP Flagbearer's campaign tour, Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII said that since Dr. Bawumia was elected Flagbearer of the NPP, he has observed that the vice president has introduced a new form of campaigning focused on issues, which has contributed to changing the status quo of politics of insults in the country.

"This particular year's political activity has taken a new turn, and I take special notice of it. In the past, political activities have been turbulent and full of insults and things that are not palatable for our children to learn from.

"Before Alhaji Bawumia was elected to lead the NPP, the trend had started. Even people who had not declared themselves candidates started with insults and threats, but since he joined the fray, we noticed that his campaign has always been issue-based, and this has changed the landscape of our campaigning for now".

"Yes, we still hear a few threats here and there, a few insults here and there. But the status quo has changed, and I think we need to commend the Flagbearer of the NPP for this," said the Paramount Chief.

Torgbuiga Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII said his comments were not intended to flatter Dr. Bawumia but rather a sincere observation.

"Those who know me know that I don't flatter people. If I need to tell you you're a fool, I will look into your face and tell you, you are a fool. So whatever I say should not be taken as if because the vice president is here, I want to flatter him," he added.
