New Patriotic Party (NPP) launched their Manifesto on Sunday August 18 at the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) in Takoradi. During the event, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s vice-presidential candidate, outlined an ambitious plan to rejuvenate the Ghana Premier League (GPL) and provide substantial support to local football clubs. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the development of sports in the country.
Bawumia’s proposals include significant financial investments aimed at improving infrastructure, facilities, and overall operational standards of the Ghana Premier League. The plan also emphasizes fostering talent development by establishing better training programs and support systems for young players.
One of the key aspects of the proposal is to create a more sustainable financial model for football clubs. This includes setting up a fund to aid clubs in managing their finances more effectively and ensuring they have the resources needed to compete at higher levels.
The vice-presidential candidate highlighted the importance of football in national unity and pride, asserting that a revitalized league would not only improve the quality of the sport but also bring economic benefits through increased viewership and tourism.
Bawumia’s vision for the league also involves enhancing marketing strategies and increasing media coverage to attract more sponsors and fans. This comprehensive approach is designed to ensure the long-term growth and success of Ghanaian football.
The proposed plans are expected to be a key focus of the NPP’s campaign as they seek to gain support from sports enthusiasts and the broader public. The manifesto underscores the party’s commitment to investing in sports as a means to drive national development and bring about positive change in Ghanaian football.
