The Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has kicked off a nationwide tour beginning with the Eastern Region today.

Dr. Bawumia started the day with a breakfast meeting with religious leaders in Akropong.

The event had representation of Christian leaders of all denominations as well as the Regional Chief Imam and other Islamic clerics.

Addressing the religious leaders, Dr Bawumia said he decided to start his campaign tour with them because of his belief in seeking the grace of God in everything he does.

"I took this decision because of my faith in the Lord. If you follow the Lord, all other things will follow...With all humility, I am here today to present myself to you first as flagbearer and presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party and also share my vision with you...Thirdly, I am here to seek your support and that of Ghanaians as I seek to lead Ghana", he said.
