Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has touted himself as the most effective vice president Ghana has had since independence.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony of his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) in Kumasi, Dr. Bawumia asserted that even the opposition National Democratic Congress acknowledged his exceptional performance as vice president.
He contrasted his achievements with those of the flagbearer of the NDC, John Mahama, stating that while Mahama failed during his tenure as a vice president, he (Bawumia) has demonstrated remarkable leadership as vice president.
Dr Bawumia emphasised that the 2024 election presents a choice between progress and regression, highlighting 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.”
