Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has positioned himself as the most effective Vice President Ghana has seen since independence.
During the unveiling ceremony of his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) in Kumasi, Dr. Bawumia asserted that even the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) acknowledges his exceptional performance as Vice President.
He contrasted his achievements with those of the NDC flagbearer, John Mahama, arguing that Mahama’s tenure as Vice President was marked by failures, whereas he has demonstrated remarkable leadership.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the 2024 election offers a choice between progress and regression, underscoring his credentials as a forward-thinking leader.
“The choice is between the future and the past. He [Mahama] has been president before and he failed. I’m just a vice president, I’ve not been a president before, but everyone can attest that I’ve been the most effective vice president in the history of Ghana.
“Even the NDC know that. There’s been no hard-working vice president than me since independence. So the 2024 election is about going forward or backwards.”
