The President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II, has urged the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to choose a running mate from either the Bono Region or the Bono East Region.
During a courtesy visit by Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia to the Bono Regional House of Chiefs in Sunyani, Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II, who is also the Omanhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area, emphasized the importance of considering the Bono Region in the selection process.
He expressed concern that neglecting regions like Bono could lead to diminished support for Dr. Bawumia in the upcoming elections.
Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II suggested several potential running mates from the region, including Martin Adjei Korsah, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, Kwaku Agyemang Manu, and Mahama Afful, as suitable candidates for Dr. Bawumia to consider.
“I will understand if it goes elsewhere, but I will really thank you if it comes here,” he stated, highlighting the importance of representation from the Bono Region in Dr. Bawumia’s decision-making process.
