NPP primaries: I’m very humbled by the emphatic victory – Dr Bawumia

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia says he is humbled by the emphatic endorsement of the delegates at the just-ended Super Delegates Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Addressing the media at his residence in Accra on Saturday, Dr Bawumia commended the leadership of the Party, the Electoral Commission and the entire NPP family for the smooth conduct of the polls.

He called for hard work and unity within the Party to ensure a resounding victory in the November 4 Delegates Conference, and subsequently in the 2024 General Election.

Mr Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai Nimoh had nine votes each, thus tying at the fifth position.

The rest were Kwabena Agyei Agyepong; Six, Joe Ghartey, Four, Kwadwo Poku, three, and Kofi Konadu Apraku zero.

There were a total of 923 valid votes cast.
