Akufo-Addo throws weight behind Bawumia's Presidential bid, urges Ghanaians to vote for him

Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has given his full backing to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as a capable and well-prepared leader who can take the country to greater heights.

Speaking in Kumasi on Sunday, President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to rally behind Dr. Bawumia in the upcoming 2024 elections. He highlighted the Vice President's extensive experience and clear vision for advancing Ghana's development.

The President also emphasized the crucial role the Ashanti Region plays in ensuring electoral success for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He cautioned against repeating the mistakes of the past, particularly in 2008 when the NPP lost power.

“We have two people who are in the race. One, a failed president and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. There are four other people who have had the blessing of the Almighty and the support of the people of Ghana to become presidents of Ghana,'' he stated.

“Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, John Dramani Mahama, and myself. Of all these, Jerry John Rawlings had a second term, John Agyekum Kufuor had a second term, and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had a second term.

“The only one who was not given a second term was John Dramani Mahama and the reason is that he did a poor job,'' he added.
