Bawumia to lead NPP fundraising drive for party's polling station officers

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has announced that he's committed to embark on a fundraising effort to support the party's agenda of registering all members to help with its data and membership analyses as well as membership registration, especially with the registration of polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, constituency executives, regional executives and the national executive committee.

Dr Bawumia noted that ministers, members of parliament, appointees, patrons and other party supporters will be contacted to support the fundraising exercise.

The vice president made this known on Wednesday, November 9, when he paid a working visit to the headquarters of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Accra.

Dr Bawumia also thanked the national officers of the Party for the cordial reception and congratulated them for their respective electoral victories during the National Delegates Conference.

He indicated that the party-government engagements will help close the gap.

Vice President Bawumia also indicated to the party leadership his cardinal job of assisting his boss, President Akufo-Addo, to execute his mandate.
