The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has urged Ghanaians to vote for the paty's flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He asserted that Dr. Bawumia will introduce bold solutions to accelerate Ghana's development.

In a post on his X platform, he wrote, “Vote Bawumia for President on December 7th because he will abolish the e-levy and implement bold solutions to quicken the pace of Ghana’s development. From Akufo-Addo to Bawumia, it’s possible”.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has outlined the qualities he believes Ghana's next leader must possess to propel the country forward.

Speaking at the NPP International Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, he emphasized the need for visionary leadership and a proven track record in solving generational challenges.

“Ghana needs problem solvers, generational thinkers and people with innovative ideas,” Dr. Bawumia said.

“I am a problem solver, and a generational thinker with innovative ideas. I have a solid track record as Vice-President to prove it,” he added.

Highlighting his achievements as Vice President, Dr. Bawumia mentioned several policy initiatives he has led, including the digital national identity system, national property address system, mobile money interoperability, and digitalization of public services.

"I have not been President before, but through my role as Vice President, I have demonstrated that I will be a hard-working President and I have the vision to address generational problems confronting our sustainable development," he affirmed.

Comparing himself to his main competitor, former President John Mahama, Dr. Bawumia asserted that his track record, work ethics, and vision make him a superior candidate.

He criticized Mahama's past performance as President and emphasized his own commitment to change and progress for Ghana.

“I have not been President before, but through my role as Vice President, I have demonstrated that I will be a hard-working President and I have the vision to address generational problems confronting our sustainable development.”

“Former President Mahama has been President before but what was his track record? He failed. He failed to tackle corruption and many problems. Economically, if you look at all the economic data in the 4th Republic, Mahama has been the worst President.

“John Mahama doesn’t represent change because he was there as President and he has been rejected twice in 2016 and 2020. I have not been President before and my record as Vice President is there for all to see. John Mahama represents the past and I represent the next chapter and future of our country.”
