Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asserted his role as Ghana's most impactful vice president since independence during the unveiling ceremony of his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), in Kumasi.

In his address, at the grand unveiling of his running mate, Dr. Bawumia highlighted the recognition of his performance by both supporters and critics alike, contrasting his achievements with the tenure of the NDC's flagbearer, John Mahama.

He underscored his administration's achievements and forward-looking leadership, framing the upcoming 2024 election as a pivotal choice between continuity of progress and regression.

“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.”
