Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has positioned himself as the most efficient vice president Ghana has seen since gaining independence.
During the introduction of his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) in Kumasi, Dr. Bawumia stated that even the opposition National Democratic Congress recognized his outstanding performance as vice president.
He compared his accomplishments to those of the NDC flagbearer, John Mahama, claiming that while Mahama struggled during his time as vice president, he (Bawumia) has displayed exceptional leadership in the role.
Dr. Bawumia stressed that the 2024 election offers a choice between advancement and decline, underscoring his qualifications 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.
