Dr. Bawumia Supports Injured NPP Polling Station Officer with GH¢100K Donation
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has provided financial assistance of GH¢100,000 to Bernard Mensah, a polling station officer in the Twifo Atti-Morkwa constituency. Mr. Mensah sustained life-threatening injuries while installing streetlights on electric poles as part of efforts to improve infrastructure during the 2024 election campaign. The incident left him in critical condition, requiring urgent medical treatment and rehabilitation. Recognizing his dedication and sacrifice, Dr. Bawumia sent a delegation to deliver the donation on his behalf. This team was led by Central Regional NPP Chairman Percival Quaicoe and accompanied by other regional executives, including Secretary Richard Takyi Mensah and Treasurer Francis Asare.
Speaking during the presentation, Mr. Quaicoe commended Mensah’s commitment to both the party and his community, emphasizing that his willingness to risk his well-being for the cause exemplifies true patriotism. He assured Mensah and his family that the NPP stands by its members in difficult times and will continue to support him throughout his recovery. The funds provided are expected to cover the cost of medical treatment and ease the financial burden on Mensah’s household. This kind gesture has been met with widespread appreciation from party members and the general public, who see it as a testament to Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and concern for the welfare of NPP supporters. Many within the party believe this move strengthens loyalty among grassroots members and reinforces the unity of the party.
Expressing his gratitude, Bernard Mensah acknowledged Dr. Bawumia’s generosity and the party’s support, stating that the donation had given him renewed hope and encouragement to recover fully. He reassured the NPP of his continued commitment to the party’s success, despite the challenges he has faced. The delegation emphasized that this act of kindness reflects Dr. Bawumia’s broader vision of prioritizing the well-being of party members and those who contribute to its progress. As political activities continue to intensify ahead of the next election, such gestures are seen as reinforcing Bawumia’s leadership appeal. The donation not only provides much-needed financial relief to Mensah’s family but also serves as a reminder that the NPP values and supports those who work tirelessly for its success.
