The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called for a major overhaul of Ghana's driver’s license renewal system.

He advocated for extending the license validity to up to 10 years, citing the current two-year renewal requirement as burdensome.

Addressing a campaign event in Akwatia, Eastern Region, the Vice President expressed frustration with the existing system.

“We are all drivers and our drivers’ licences expire every two years, it that not the case? Unless you go to the DVLA to renew it why?

“We are saying let’s extend it, eight years, ten years. Let’s make sure we can have the driver’s licence without having to go to renew it every year; it doesn’t make sense,” he stated.
