New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, didn’t mince words when discussing his rival, John Mahama, from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr. Bawumia strongly criticized Mahama’s past tenure as President, labelling it as one of the worst in Ghana’s history.
Pointing out what he sees as significant shortcomings in Mahama’s leadership, Dr. Bawumia highlighted issues like corruption and economic challenges that he believes were not adequately addressed during Mahama’s presidency.
In contrast, Dr. Bawumia showcased his own record as Vice President since 2017, portraying himself as a capable problem solver and promising a forward-thinking approach if elected as President.
He emphasised the urgent need for a leader who can harness Ghana’s potential for development and ensure accountability in governance.
“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,” Bawumia stated.
