That is why I\u2019m coming up with three initiatives which I believe that if effectively utilised the party and the government will be well integrated. The first one is appointments. Anytime there are appointments, the constituencies normally say they have been left out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo what I will do is that in governance, a president can make about 7000 appointments, and we have 275 constituencies which we will add one more next year to make them 276, so my plan is that some of the 7000 appointees can come from the constituencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy proposal is that one constituency, 10 appointments. Doing that will ensure that all the constituencies will have a total of 2760 appointments,\u201d Dr Bawumia stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Citi Newsroom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-562\" width=\"171\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG-20230613-WA0094-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub><strong>Dmedia News <br>(Domajuosu Multimedia)<\/strong><\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has announced plans to introduce what he calls \u201cOne Constituency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",750,375,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1-300x150.jpeg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",640,320,false],"large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",640,320,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",750,375,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",750,375,false],"shareaholic-thumbnail":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1-640x320.jpeg",640,320,true],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",750,375,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1.jpeg",750,375,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-01-at-14.10.46-750x375-1-590x375.jpeg",590,375,true]},"author_info":{"info":["Babia Mubaric"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":888,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886\/revisions\/888"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmediagh.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
