Independent candidate in Bekwai race abandons campaign to join Bawumia, Ralph Poku-Adusei walk

In an unexpected turn of events on Saturday, May 11 2024, Akwasi Amofa, at the Amansie Nsroma Social Center, set aside his independent political ambitions to partake in the NPP's vibrant health walk, endorsing Dr. Bawumia and Ralph Poku-Adusei.

The Bawumia Ladies Walk was a spectacle of the NPP's dynamic spirit, featuring a lively display of the party's colors and energy.

The air buzzed with excitement as banners showcasing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Ralph Poku-Adusei adorned the venue, buzzing with the party's slogans and emblems.

The outgoing MP, Joseph Osei Owusu (Joe Wise), was fully engaged in the event, which was further enlivened by a throng of enthusiastic supporters, their chants and flags adding to the festive atmosphere, accompanied by a brass band.

Participants and NPP loyalists view Akwasi Amofa's decision as a significant gesture of unity, especially as the 2024 elections draw near, scheduled for December 7th.

Amofa's return to the NPP fold, following the circulation of his campaign materials for an independent run, aligns with earlier conjectures about his potential support for the NPP's Parliamentary Candidate, Ralph Poku-Adusei.

An associate of Poku-Adusei highlighted the importance of internal party unity in shaping policies and strategies, noting that such coherence bolsters the party's image and resonates with voters by presenting a unified vision for governance.

He emphasized the necessity for party members to embrace diverse perspectives and stand together to achieve shared goals, suggesting that this unity positions the party to better promote its agenda and engage in constructive dialogue with other political groups.
