Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's political career is marked by his transition from a technocrat to a key figure in Ghanaian politics. With a strong background in economics and international banking, Dr. Bawumia first gained prominence as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana. His expertise in economic matters led to his selection as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2008. Though the party lost that election, he solidified his role as a leading voice in Ghana's economic discourse.

Dr. Bawumia successfully served as Vice President of Ghana after the NPP's victory in the 2016 elections and retained the position in 2020. His tenure has been characterized by his commitment to digital transformation in Ghana, earning him the moniker "Mr. Digital." He spearheaded initiatives such as digital payment systems, biometric identification cards, and partnerships for drone-based medical deliveries, significantly advancing the nation's technological infrastructure. However, his handling of Ghana's economic challenges, including a severe debt crisis and high inflation in 2022, has faced criticism.

In 2024, Dr. Bawumia emerged as the NPP’s Presidential candidate, aiming to address these critiques while leveraging his record in economic modernization and digitalization to appeal to voters. His campaign emphasizes grassroots engagement, addressing societal issues like healthcare and education, and using social media to connect with younger demographics.

As the first Muslim and Northern Ghanaian candidate for the NPP, Dr. Bawumia's candidacy represents a strategic move to broaden the party's appeal across diverse regions and demographics. Despite mixed public perceptions, his ability to blend economic expertise with a focus on technological innovation makes him a pivotal figure in Ghana's political landscape.

With a supportive wife, Samira Bawumia, they both are mostly seen together at events. Her sense of fashion tends to stand out as she mostly dress decent and classic. Her sense of fashion is worthy of emulation by ladies
