” As of the time Dr Bawumia has become our running mate, the then Northern Region has 31 parliamentary seats, NDC has 28 out of the 31, NPP has only 3 . Today, ever since Dr Bawumia started working to let them understand the principles, philosophies and ideologies of the NPP, when you go to the North NPP has 16 while the NDC dropped to 15 out of the same 31 seats”
Only Dr Bawumia has added political values to NPP than any candidate among the aspirants and this was the time he was a running mate and has managed to reduce John Mahama’s influence in the North from 28 seats to 15. ” you cannot underate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s political influence in this country” he added

“He’s the only candidate who can win Mahama, Today as I speak, if election is to be held, between Mahama and Bawumia who all comes from the North, I tell you Bawumia will win him. Ashanti’s will vote for him because Mahama is also from the North” , he expressed.
