But that agenda has failed. It is not true that the NPP won\u2019t support Bawumia. Ashanti Region is solidly behind him. It is easier for the NPP to get 85% in the Ashanti Region with Bawumia as presidential candidate than any time in the history of the party\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NPP\u2019s record in improving the lives of Ghanaians is clear, and Dr. Bawumia\u2019s leadership will further strengthen our position. We must work together to ensure these programs continue and that we reach our goal of 85 percent in the Ashanti Region,\u201d Dr. Prempeh urged.<\/p>\n<p>Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Wontumi, emphasized the party\u2019s commitment to achieving its goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur target to win all forty-seven constituencies is still in motion. We will have to deliver it. The running mate has also given us an 85% target, which should be done as well,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the Ashanti Region has been a stronghold for the NPP, with the highest percentage of votes ever attained in a general election being 76.2%.<\/p>\n<p>The new target reflects the party\u2019s drive to not only maintain but significantly increase its dominance in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, MP for Suame and Chairman of the NPP Manifesto Committee, says reaching the party\u2019s ambitious target of 85% of the vote in the Ashanti Region hinges on revitalizing the party\u2019s organizational units.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need for a robust structure to support an effective door-to-door campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAchieving 85% in the Ashanti Region is feasible, but it requires a well-organized party structure,\u201d he said. \u201cOur polling station agents have not been engaging with voters at their homes after the previous elections. To meet our goal, we need to reinvigorate our organizational units and ensure that our message reaches every voter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is good to aspire higher. If we look at our performance in the past four elections, our best has been around 76 percent. We will have to ignite the organizational units of the party. That is the only means to reach the target,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to organizational efforts, Chief of Staff Akosua Fremah Opare has highlighted the crucial role of the NPP\u2019s Women\u2019s Wing in achieving the set target. She emphasized that the women\u2019s wing must play a pivotal role in the campaign to help secure the desired outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Source.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asaaseradio.com\"><strong>www.asaaseradio.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vice-presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party\u00a0(NPP),Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has expressed confidence that the party can achieve its ambitious target of securing 85% of the vote in the Ashanti Region with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as presidential candidate.
