Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo Markin has urged Ghanaian Muslim voters to vote massively for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming December 7, presidential election since he is one of their own.
He passionately admonished them to vote for him since it was the first time in Ghana’s history that a major political party has filed a presidential candidate from the Muslim block.
This he noted demonstrate the reward for hardwork, dedication and commitment and an election for Dr. Bawumia will serve as an example to the Muslim youth that there is reward for hardwork.
The Effutu Member of Parliament made the remarks at a mini gathering by the party at its headquarters on Monday, September 9, 2024 after Dr. Bawumia had submitted his nomination forms at the EC headquarters.
He stated that ”this is an opportunity that has come. If this opportunity is blown away, you never can tell, it may not come again. Give Dr. Bawumia that opportunity hope to that Muslim youth that one day, if he works hard, you would also have an opportunity to lead this country’’.
Dr. Bawumia who also addressed the gathering said the elections would not be about violence but a contest of ideas and policies based on which Ghanaians will decide on whose ideas and policies were superior.
He said he remains committed to uplifting Ghana adding that ‘’I want you all to get together with us and lets have a peaceful election. This election is about ideas. We are not going to enter this election to fight. Is only people without ideas, people who are empty who result to fighting. We have ideas, and will fight on our ideas. We will not have violence in this election’’.
