Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has expressed the view that Ghana stands at a critical juncture, necessitating the election of a forward-thinking leader like Mahamudu Bawumia to steer the nation in the upcoming December elections.

Kufuor highlighted Bawumia's commendable track record as a diligent and devoted vice-president to President Akufo-Addo over the past eight years, underscoring the importance of granting him an opportunity to lead.

These sentiments were shared by Kufuor during a speech delivered on Wednesday, February 7, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), coinciding with Vice-President Bawumia's presentation of his vision for the country as the governing NPP's presidential candidate for the 2024 elections.

“Ghana has come to a crossroads, and I’m serious here. It is not the normal regular politics we want, we want a leadership with a vision even in the complex world I have talked about.”

” A leader that will be able to marshal the new technologies and pick the requisite manpower … we must get people of competence to work with him to find our way out of the confusion our society and economy has been plunged into, I wouldn’t blame any side,” he said.

Kufour added “If you look at the track record of all the parties, you can’t find one that can say that in their time, they were excellent or superb, no. We are in a new situation, and I believe in the situation and I believe in the saying that “cometh the hour, cometh the man”.”
