In what many have described as a strong endorsement of his vice, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has declared Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the better choice for the next presidential race in Ghana. The declaration was made during a public event where the President reiterated his unwavering support for Dr. Bawumia as the most qualified candidate to succeed him in the upcoming elections.
Speaking before a throng of supporters, President Akufo-Addo commended Dr. Bawumia for his exceptional leadership qualities, intellectual prowess, and deep appreciation of Ghana's economic challenges. He praised Bawumia's contribution to the country's economic development, especially his role in the successful implementation of the nation's digital transformation agenda. The President further highlighted the role of Dr. Bawumia in stabilizing Ghana's macroeconomic environment, reduction of inflation, management of public debt, and guiding the country through the economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Dr. Bawumia has shown time and time again that he has the knowledge, expertise, and vision to lead this great nation," said President Akufo-Addo. "He has experience, temperament, and capability for the job ahead to continue what we have started. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the superior choice to lead Ghana forward."
Akufo-Addo's endorsement comes at a time when Dr. Bawumia is prepared to run for the presidency in the general elections of 2024. The Vice President has been tipped widely as the likely successor to take Akufo-Addo's reins; his leadership is seen as ensuring continuity in the policies and vision of the current government.
Already, the candidacy of Dr. Bawumia has attracted massive support within the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party and the general Ghanaian populace. His ability to connect with the youth, his advocacy for technological innovations, and his economic acumen have made him a popular figure both within his party and across the country.
The endorsement by President Akufo-Addo will thus, as expected, firmly set Dr. Bawumia in place as the frontrunner come the next election, which promises to be really heated. Many think the Vice President is poised, going forward, to be able to ensure continuity in a government that has brought so much development to Ghana and thus change prospects.
