Bawumia at number one on NPP ballot simplifies the campaign - Seaman

The Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Constituency Chairman of Patrons of the New Patriotic Party, Alhaji Ben Ali Seaman, says the NPP’s position in the top slot on the ballot paper for the 7 December presidential and parliamentary elections will simplify campaigning.

He was speaking with the media following an exercise by the Electoral Commission (EC) to decide the position of political parties and candidates on the ballot papers for 7 December.

The former Constituency Organizer of the party also argued that the number-one slot will be strategically important in emphasizing the message of the NPP government’s accomplishments and will help it renew its mandate.

“Positions on ballot papers in all elections are very critical ... especially when there are numerous political parties with presidential candidates but lack parliamentary candidates,” Seaman said.

“With the number-one position, you have all your parliamentary candidates on the ballot placed at number one. And it makes it easier for us to campaign, because there are a lot of things in this country [where] the NPP government is number one in delivering those things.”

The NPP's Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, emerged as the top candidate on the presidential ballot paper for the December election after balloting at the EC on Friday, September 20th, 2024.

His primary opponent, John Dramani Mahama, from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), took the eighth spot.
