Bawumia sets Kumasi Magazine agog as thousands of artisans receive him

The busy automobile hub of Kumasi, known as Magazine, came to a standstill on Tuesday morning during the visit of Vice President and NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dr. Bawumia is on a three-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region. After a busy opening day, where he met with numerous groups including the Clergy, Imams, and traditional rulers, Dr. Bawumia took his campaign to the streets and markets on day two, starting with a visit to the popular automobile hub.

Upon the arrival of the blue Bawumia campaign bus, activities at the site came to a halt as thousands of artisans and traders abandoned their businesses to welcome him.

Dr. Bawumia was accompanied by NPP stalwarts, including the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, NPP National Chairman Steven Ntim, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a number of Ministers, and Kennedy Agyapong, who is joining Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour for the first time.

All these individuals received loud cheers as they disembarked from the bus, but the ecstatic crowd reserved the loudest cheer for Bawumia, who also waved back at them.

The delighted crowd, estimated to be in the thousands, then followed Dr. Bawumia in a procession.
