Fresh from his exhaustive interaction with the media Sunday night, Vice President and NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia delivered another energetic address to thousands of supporters in Dansoman last night.

Dr. Bawumia, as part of his campaign tour, visited three of the Ablekuma constituencies: West, South and Central, where he had a series of engagements including his characteristic meet and greet on the street, as well as interactions in markets and lorry stations.

In those interactions earlier in the day, Dr. Bawumia sparked excitement as he arrived at Odorkor lorry station, Kokompe and Mallam market, where he was mobbed by enthusiastic traders.

The biggest crowd, however, waited for Dr. Bawumia in Dansoman, where he put the icing on the cake of a busy campaign day.

Music legend, Samini, a resident of Dansoman, thrilled the large crowd with his popular tunes, including his latest single, No Pressure. The charged crowd responded wildly to Samini's latest banger; a crafty song in support of Dr. Bawumia's presidential bid, as they awaited the arrival of the new NPP leader.

By the time Dr. Bawumia arrived, every space at the venue had been covered with people, who were eager to catch a glimpse at the Vice President..

With a charged crowd in front of him, Dr. Bawumia delivered a powerful rallying call, by reminding the crowd how former President Mahama represents the past with his, and how a vote for Bawumia represents a vote for the forward march of Ghana, to modern way of doing things and transformation.

While highlighting what he has been able to do as Vice President and his new vision for the future as President, Dr. Bawumia was quick to remind the crowd of "the bad record" of Mahama when he was President, including his government's inability to provide chalks to schools and a four-year dumsor crisis.
