Lawyer Maurice Ampaw has predicted a mass sacking of government officials appointed by President Akufo-Addo should Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia be given the mandate to lead the come 2024 general elections.

He draws conclusion from what he believes to be a sidelining of members within the same political party by the late President John Evans Atta Mills when he assumed office in 2009.

In an interview on Okay FM on July 9, he said: “I see Bawumia as someone who is bringing good luck to Ghana, his government will be Bawumia’s government and not Nana Akufo-Addo’s government and Bawumia will sack all Nana Addo’s people from his side, all Nana Addo’s people will go away, all of them will expire when Bawumia comes, he will be like Atta Mills, do you remember what Atta Mill’s did to Rawlings, the same way that he will do."

According to Lawyer Ampaw, the many Christian leaders Ghana has experienced have all failed to provide the necessary development, hence the need to give a Muslim leader the opportunity to change the country's fourtune.

“When Bawumia comes we will make history, for the first time, we will get someone who is a Muslim and lives in the North. We have tried Christians who have disappointed us, using the name of Jesus Christ, they will be stealing, taking bribes and all, so, we are tired of the Christians," he noted.

In anticipation of the November presidential primary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana, ten candidates, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and former Trade Minister John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, have been actively campaigning throughout the country to garner support from party delegates.

As part of his campaign strategy, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has made a promise to appoint ten party members from each constituency to hold government positions if he is elected as the party's flagbearer and subsequently becomes president.

On the other hand, Alan Kyerematen has expressed his commitment to provide a monthly salary and implement a social security policy for all party delegates during his tenure.

The remaining candidates in the race are Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central; Joe Ghartey, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General; Kwadwo Poku, a businessman and energy expert; Boakye Agyarko, former Minister of Energy; Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former NPP General Secretary; Francis Addai-Nimoh, former Member of Parliament for Mampong; Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, former Minister of State; and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, former Minister of Food and Agriculture.
