In a series of warm receptions, traditional rulers across the Volta and Oti Regions have showered praise on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, highlighting his exemplary moral principles as a leader. These heartfelt endorsements came as Dr Bawumia continued his campaign tour, gathering vital support from various communities throughout the regions.

From Akatsi to Ziope and Ampeyoo to Jasikan, chiefs welcomed Bawumia with open arms, emphasizing his commitment to values that resonate deeply with their local customs. During a ceremonial gathering, Togbui Acolatse V, the Dufia of Kedzi, expressed the sentiments of his fellow chiefs, stating, “We know the values that you espouse, and you strongly uphold values of integrity, honesty, and hard work.” He further noted, “These are our values here in Anlo. These are some of the values we also espouse and hold dear to our chest. So we share a common value.”

The atmosphere was charged with optimism as the chiefs offered prayers for divine protection and success for Bawumia. Their collective belief in his strong moral foundation was evident as they expressed confidence that it would elevate him to greater heights in his political journey. “We know this moral authority that you stand for will propel you exponentially to a formal authority, and, Insha Allah, as you always say, you shall,” the Dufia affirmed, projecting hope for Bawumia’s future in leadership.

The celebrations reached a crescendo in Kpassa, where traditional leaders, led by Dr. Ubor Tossan Konja VI, the paramount chief of Kpassa, boldly declared that Dr. Bawumia should cease his campaigning efforts, proclaiming, “You have already won the election!” This emphatic statement underscored the overwhelming support the Vice President is garnering from these regions, which hold significant importance in the NPP’s electoral strategy.

In a notable twist, the Ampeyoo Paramount Chief and his counterpart from Asukowkow seized the moment to express their regrets for not voting for the NPP in previous elections. They publicly sought forgiveness and pledged their commitment to delivering the region for the NPP in the upcoming elections, emphasizing a renewed dedication to supporting Bawumia. Their acknowledgement reflects a significant shift in local political loyalties, which could bolster the party’s chances in the forthcoming electoral battle.

The endorsements from traditional rulers highlight a strategic alliance between the NPP and these influential leaders, reinforcing the party’s foothold in the Volta and Oti Regions. Their praises not only celebrate Bawumia’s achievements but also resonate with the hopes that his presidency could align with the aspirations and values of the local communities.

As the campaign intensifies, the glowing tributes from chiefs in the Volta and Oti Regions position Dr. Bawumia as a formidable candidate. With the traditional leadership rallying behind him, the Vice President appears to be consolidating critical support that could play a decisive role in the upcoming December elections. The unity showcased by the chiefs not only reflects their confidence in Bawumia but also symbolizes a broader desire for a leader who embodies their shared values and vision for the future.
