Bawumia Thanks Christians For Their Support For His Presidential Bid

NPP presidential candidate, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed immense gratitude to the Christian community for their support for him.

At a special thanksgiving and prayer service with the Imams and Zongo Chiefs in Accra, Dr. Bawumia told them about the overwhelming support from the Christian community even though he is a Muslim in view of his bid to be elected President of Ghana.

"I have received tremendous support from our Christian brothers and sisters in this journey. From the primaries in my party throughout my campaign across the country, the support has been massive and I have been overwhelmed.”

"I am a Muslim and Northerner who contested in a party which has majority of its delegates being Christians and not from the North but when I stood as the only Northerner and Muslim against nine other Christians, the delegates of my party overwhelmingly supported me and I won with a historic margin."

"And since my election as the flagbearer, the support and encouragement I have received from Christian leaders and Christians across the country has equally been overwhelming."

Dr. Bawumia told the Imams and Zongo Chiefs that the support he has received attests to the harmonious relationship between Christians and Muslims and pledged to strengthen it under his Presidency.

"This support and love our Christian brothers and sisters persist to show to me reflect the beautiful diversity of our country which I am committed to strengthening as President, in shaa Allah. I am very grateful to all of them."

Dr. Bawumia further urged the Imams, Zongo Chiefs and the Zongo community to vote for him to serve the country as President.Ameyaw Adu Gyamfi/
