The contenders in the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) presidential primaries are ramping up their campaigns as the day for the party’s National Delegate Congress to choose its next leader draws near.

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been in his home region, the North-East Region, over the past few days to canvass for votes from New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates.

On Monday, October 30, 2023, Dr. Bawumia was in his hometown, Walewale, the capital town of the Mamprusi West Municipality.

A video of the vice president’s visit to Walewale shared on social media showed celebrations at Jubilee Park in the town, where Dr. Bawumia was to meet the NPP members even before his arrival.

His arrival sparked huge jubilation among his natives, who were so happy to see him.
