Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Kwabena Agyapong, has spoken highly of the Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a man of "impeccable integrity." This is on the heels of discussions on NPP leadership and the way forward of the party ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at a political rally in Accra, Agyapong brought into focus how Bawumia had led by example throughout his time in public service on matters concerning transparency and accountability. "Dr. Bawumia has always led by example, showing a high level of ethics and probity. His track record is loud on his commitment to the people of Ghana," Agyapong said, ensuring to indicate how useful the Vice President has proved to the state in matters of economic management, among other areas involving digital innovation.
The former General Secretary also emphasized how Bawumia had championed, from the digitalization of public services to financial sector development, several initiatives aimed at bringing changes to the lives of residents in Ghana. "Under his stewardship, we have witnessed an unprecedented digital economy that makes government services more accessible to the ordinary citizen," he said.
Agyapong's comments also come at a time when the NPP is in dire need to consolidate its base as the country inches toward elections. With Bawumia considered to be gunning for the presidential ticket of the party, an endorsement from Agyapong is expected to bolster the Vice President's standing within the party and among the electorate.
In fact, Agyapong's statement agrees with a growing feeling in the party rank and file who look on Bawumia as a good leader to lead the country out of its problems. His emphasis on integrity therefore resonates well with voters seeking honest leadership in a time marked by economic challenges and political polarization.
As the NPP revs up for the election season, Agyapong's strong endorsement may turn out very pivotal in shaping not only the party's narrative but also its fortunes in this forthcoming electoral battle. While integrity is probably a prime factor among the electorate, Bawumia's leadership qualities would be in immense focus in the unfolding campaign.
