Dr Bawumia in a group picture with some of the coordinators
Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s proposals aimed at addressing welfare concerns of members of the NPP have been embraced by grassroot members of the party in the Greater Accra Region.
Bawumia, who has been touring the Greater Accra Region, as part of his national campaign tour for the NPP primaries, has been receiving enormous support from NPP delegates through endorsements but also, his proposed policies for welfare of members have also been largely welcomed.
In his campaign, Dr Bawumia has highlighted neglect and inadequate appreciation of party members, especially at the constituency level, as a major concern and to address them, he has proposed policies, including the creation of a database system of members from the local level, to ensure inclusive welfare for all officials and members.
The database system, Dr Bawumia explains, would acknowledge the efforts of members, record their concerns and address these concerns through effective monitoring.
The former Vice President has also proposed a constituency-based appointment in his government, which will seek to ensure inclusive appointments, by giving each constituency a minimum of ten appointments.
These proposals have been welcomed by electoral area coordinators and polling stations executives of the Greater Accra region.
Announcing their support for Dr Bawumia, about 445 out of 595 electoral area coordinators in the Greater Accra have said that Dr Bawumia’s welfare proposals for grassroot members of the party is one of the reasons they support him.
“We have realised that your vision the grassroot is what the party needs. In fact, if the policies you are proposing had been implemented, we don’t think we would have been out of government,” a spokesman for the coordinators said during Dr. Bawumia’s campaign engagements in Adenta and Madina constituencies yesterday.
“Polling station executives, electoral area coordinators and constituency executives have really suffered for this party, and we are still sacrificing. We welcome your well thought through policies which address the welfare of party members and we believe that by the grace of God, our concerns will be addressed by your proposals after your election.”
Dr Bawumia’s proposals appears to have gone down well not for only delegates and members in the Greater Accra Region.
In his tour of the other regions, party members welcomed the proposals, hailing them as welcome steps to address the perennial issue of exclusion and lack of recognition of hardworking members of the party.
