Addressing stakeholders of the governing New Patriotic Party in Donkorkrom, Afram Plains North constituency last Saturday, Dr. Bawumia has said although he has not been president before, he has contributed so much to Ghana’s development through the Akufo-Addo government.
“I am always driven by public service, not the desire for personal gains”, he stated.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia addressing the party’s delegates, stated that, he has done enough as a vice president of the Republic and can break the 8 for the party if given the chance to lead the party as its flag bearer.
“It is the reason I am offering myself, first to be elected flagbearer of our party, and then I can offer myself to the people of Ghana so that I can continue to contribute towards the transformation of our country,”
The party will hold a super delegates conference on 26 August 2023 to whittle down the number of aspirants to five ahead of the main primaries on 4 November 2023.
Dr.Bawumia Continue to add that,
“I have not been president, but as vice pesident, I have worked so hard and contributed significantly to the development of our country through landmark policies I have initiated and spearheaded,” Dr. Bawumia said.
Some of those policies include One Constituency- One Ambulance, Agenda 111 hospital, Digital Addressing System; digitisation of the ports, Passport offices, DVLA, as well as setting up of the ghana.gov payment platform, implementation of the money interoperability system and the e-Pharmacy platform.
