Former Member of Parliament for Tempane Constituency in the upper east regions says, it will be politically suicidal for him not support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia if he decides to contest for the flagbearership of the NPP.
He said, there is no basis for him not to support the Vice President ambition as he would want to see him ascend the throne to be president of the country.
According to the former Deputy Attorney General, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, his support for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is as a result of some exceptional talents and not because he is a northerner.
Speaking on Bolgatanga based Dreamz Fm monitored by theGhanaianvoice.com, he said there is no basis for him and all other members of the NPP not to support the agenda for Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia to be elected presidential candidate of the party for the 2024 elections.
His declaration adds to the numerous party bigwigs in the north regions who are in favour of the Vice President by leading the party into the 2024 elections.
According to Lawyer Kpemka, Dr Bawumia is a shining star who has exuded exceptional leadership and talent with a track record of sacrificing sufficiently for the party, resulting in its ability to win elections.
“What is the basis for me not to support Bawumia? What is the basis on this earth? It will amount to political suicide if I decide not to support him. In fact, I support him [Bawumia] more than 100%. I’m not supporting Bawumia because he is my brother and I’m not supporting him because he is a Northerner. I’m supporting him because he is an exceptional talent that I want to see become President and exude his knowledge on this particular country and we will see the outcome,” he said.
While touting the achievements and success of Dr Bawumia in his current role as Vice President, Mr Dindiok Kpemka added that attaining the position of President of the Republic is key in creating the opportunity for the Vice President to demonstrate exceptional leadership.
“He is not the President of Ghana but Vice President. There is a world of difference between President and Vice President. If you are in charge and answerable to no one, you are able to do what you want to do. If you’re not and you are under someone, you are [limited]” he added.
