Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II, the esteemed head of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and Omanhene of the Dormaa Traditional Area, Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II, has urged Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, to contemplate choosing a vice-presidential candidate from either the Bono Region or the Bono East Region.
Expressing concern that neglecting their region could lead to diminished support, he emphasized the importance of considering their interests in the selection process.
During Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s visit to the Bono Regional House of Chiefs in Sunyani, Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II conveyed this message.
“Your Excellency, as you prepare to designate your running mate, I’m mindful of the significance of this decision. While many regions boast substantial populations, focusing solely on a select few may alienate others. It’s crucial to remember the Bono region,” he stated.
Osagyefo Oseadeayo Agyemang Badu II proposed several potential candidates from the area, including Martin Adjei Korsah, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, Kwaku Agyemang Manu, and Mahama Afful, for Dr. Bawumia’s consideration.
“We, in the Bono region and Bono East, eagerly anticipate your choice for running mate. While we acknowledge the possibility of selection from elsewhere, we would greatly appreciate if you would give due consideration to our region,” he concluded.
