A forthcoming book delves into the character and impact of Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, within the nation’s public and political sphere.
Authored by political communication scholar and analyst, Dr. Etse Sikanku, the book is titled “Dr. Bawumia and the Modern Vice Presidency in Ghana.”
Dr. Sikanku, known for his significant work “The Afrocentric Obama and lessons on political campaigning,” previously launched at the University of Iowa (USA) and presented in a book reading/talk at Harvard University in 2016.
Sikanku provides a thorough analysis of the Vice President’s persona and underlying philosophy, highlighting the vibrancy, dynamism, humility, empathy, and inventiveness he brought to the role.
“Considering that the vice presidency in many democracies has been one of limitation, tradition, and symbolism,” Sikanku writes, “Dr Bawumia’s activism, perspicacity and dynamism as Vice President is one that deserves to be documented.
Dr. Bawumia and the Modern Vice Presidency in Ghana” serves as a resource for the general public and students studying political science, government, communication, and leadership. It extracts and presents lessons on institutional, leadership, and communication aspects.
The release of the book is scheduled for early next year.
