The vice president was accompanied by leading figures in the NPP, including the National Chairman of the party, Stephen Ntim and the General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua.
Dr Bawumia, in his New Year’s message at the Action Chapel, urged Ghanaians to jealously guide the democracy the country enjoys as it heads into an election year.
