I am always driven by public service, not the desire for personal gains,” said Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, as he addressed stakeholders of the governing New Patriotic Party in Donkorkrom, Afram Plains North constituency.
While acknowledging that he has not yet held the position of president, Bawumia emphasized his significant contributions to Ghana’s development through his work in the Akufo-Addo government.
He further noted that, “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,”.
According to the vice president, he has done so much for the country.
He said,”I have not been president, but as Vice President, I have worked so hard and contributed significantly to the development of our country through landmark policies I have initiated and spearheaded,”
Among the policies that Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia highlighted are One Constituency-One Ambulance, Agenda 111 hospital, Digital Addressing System, digitization of the ports, Passport offices, DVLA, as well as the establishment of the Ghana.gov payment platform, implementation of the money interoperability system, and the e-Pharmacy platform.
These initiatives have been aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery, improving government services, facilitating efficient payment systems, and leveraging technology for the benefit of the Ghanaian people.
Dr Bawumia is running against nine other aspirants in the flagbearer race.
The party has scheduled a super delegates conference on August 26, 2023, with the aim of narrowing down the number of aspirants to five ahead of the main primaries on November 4, 2023. This process will involve a selection process by the party’s super delegates, who will play a crucial role in deciding the party’s final candidates for the upcoming elections.
