The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has stated that he deserves the opportunity to lead Ghana, citing his accomplishments as Vice President.
Dr. Bawumia asserted that he is widely recognized as the best Vice President Ghana has ever had. He made these remarks during a stakeholder engagement at the Kasoa Odekro Palace, as part of his tour of the Awutu Senya East constituency on Monday.
He highlighted his role in implementing 33 government policies under his guidance, contrasting his record with that of former President John Dramani Mahama, who also served as Vice President but, according to Dr. Bawumia, did not achieve similar milestones.
Dr Bawumia urged Ghanaians to support his bid for the presidency, promising to be a “brand new tear rubber” leader for the nation.
“I have implemented 33 different policies as Vice President. The former President cannot point to one. He does not have one as Vice President. There is none. I can point to them.
“So, it means that I have passed the job as a Vice President. So, vote for me so I become President.”
“I am a Vice President so if you vote for me, you will get a brand-new tear rubber President. When you vote for the former president, you will get home used secondhand President,” he stated.
