The queenmother of Bechem Traditional Area in the Ahafo Region, Nana Adwoapo Dwamena Serwaa II, has appealed to the electorate to vote for the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamaudu Bawumia, as the next President of Ghana.
She said Ghanaians must consider the progress of Ghana and elect Dr Bawumia as the next President to succeed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Nana Serwaa made the appeal last Friday while welcoming Dr Bawumia to Bechem, as part of his campaign tour of the Ahafo Region.
Nana Serwaa said the ultimate consideration for selecting the next President of Ghana should be the progress and future of the country.
She explained that as Vice President, Dr Bawumia had demonstrated that he had the nation at heart.
"My fellow citizens, let us look at what is good for us as a country. Let us look at someone who has the nation at heart and someone who delivers what he promises," Nana Serwaa said.
"I am pleading with everyone here in Bechem and to Ghanaians. Let us not look elsewhere because it should all be about Ghana and the future generation.
"Dr Bawumia has done so well, so let us give him the opportunity to continue as our next President," she pleaded.
Nana Serwaa said Ghana was on course in so many areas, and stressed the need for the election of Dr Bawumia, who she commended for spearheading many of the nation's innovations, to ensure continuity and progress.
"When we get it right now, it will really help our country. We are on course as a nation with so many innovations so let us not go back.
We should give Dr Mahumudu Bawumia an opportunity to continue with the good work he has started.'
Nana Serwaa said although traditional rulers were not supposed to be involved in politics, “but what we have seen with our eyes, we cannot gloss over them.”
“We have been saying the good things we have been seeing and we will continue to say them," she stated.
Nana Serwaa also prayed for Dr Bawumia, expressing her belief that God would make it possible for him to be sworn in as Ghana's next President in January 2025.
"My son, don't worry. Remain resolute and be bold because victory awaits you. By the grace of God, you'll be sworn in as President a month after December. By the grace of God, it will come to pass," she stated.
