He has also used social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and X. This helped promote the NPP and reach more people. His experience includes working on election campaign teams. He has also served as a polling agent and trainer. Sulleyman has also contested for Nasara Coordinator five times. He has been involved with university student wings of the party. He is an active member of the group Agenda For Change.
Sulleyman highlighted his professional background. He has experience in communication, public relations, sales, and marketing. He also has skills in branding and journalism. This makes him well-suited for modern political communication. The 2028 election will demand smart strategies. Sulleyman mentioned experience in crisis communication and brand management. He knows how to present the NPP brand. He can protect the party's image. He also aims to use data to reach undecided voters.
His vision includes three main points. First is strategic brand positioning. He will use modern techniques and targeted messages. Second is empowering the grassroots. He will train local communicators. Third is proactive messaging. The NPP will set the political agenda. They will not just react to opponents.
Sulleyman sees his bid as a service to the party. He wants to work with all members. He will present his full plan soon. He is asking for unity and support. His goal is to strengthen the NPP in the Volta Region. He believes this will improve their election results.
