Ghanaian gospel musician, Evangelist Diana Asamoah, has revealed that she has recorded a campaign song for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in preparation for the 2024 general elections.
According to her, the song was fully composed before the NPP presidential primaries, awaiting only for the winner’s name to be added to it.
Diana Asamoah, known for her affiliation with the NPP and her past contributions to the party’s campaign songs during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s term, confirmed that her campaign song is now ready for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who emerged victory in the NPP primaries, securing the party’s flagbearer position for the 2024 general elections.
