President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed unwavering confidence in Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a competent and well-prepared leader capable of steering Ghana towards greater progress. The president called on Ghanaians to support Dr. Bawumia’s presidential bid, emphasizing his experience and vision for national development.
Addressing a gathering of professional bodies in Kumasi on Sunday, November 24, President Akufo-Addo highlighted the pivotal role the Ashanti Region plays in ensuring electoral victories for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He urged the region to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2008, when the NPP lost power, and to rally behind Dr. Bawumia for a decisive win in the 2024 elections.
Drawing a comparison between Dr. Bawumia and former President John Dramani Mahama, the president described the vice president as a more capable choice for leadership. He stated:
“We have two people who are in the race. One, a failed president, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. There are four other people who have had the blessing of the Almighty and the support of the people of Ghana to become presidents of Ghana.
“Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, John Dramani Mahama, and myself. Of all these, Jerry John Rawlings had a second term, John Agyekum Kufuor had a second term, and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had a second term.
“The only one who was not given a second term was John Dramani Mahama, and the reason is that he did a poor job.”
The president’s remarks underscored his belief in Dr. Bawumia’s ability to lead Ghana to new heights and his call for unified support from the NPP’s stronghold in the Ashanti Region.
