The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has outlined several qualities he believes Ghana's next leaders must possess to move the country forward.
Speaking at the NPP International Conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, March 23, 2024, Dr. Bawumia said "Ghana needs problem solvers, generational thinkers and people with innovative ideas" and noted he is the leader.
"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; "I have not been President before but through my role as Vice President, I have demonstrated that I will be a hardworking President and I have the vision to address generational problems confronting our sustainable development."
Drawing comparisons between himself and his main competitor, former President John Mahama, Dr Bawumia stated unequivocally that considering his "track record, work ethics and vision", he is a right and better candidate.
"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.”
