NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has presented a strong case to be elected as Ghana’s next president.
Following a special Easter health walk, Dr. Bawumia addressed a large crowd in Kwahu Mpraeso on Saturday. He emphasized that, despite his lack of experience as president of Ghana and his widely recognized impact as vice president, supporting him is a vote for innovative solutions, while supporting his main opponent is a vote for tried-and-true solutions.
“Somebody has been President before and the question is: what did he do as President to address the problems of the country? He had no solutions and we all saw how he performed, leading to his exit from office. And now he says Ghanaians should bring him back?,” Dr. Bawumia asked.
“I have not been President before. I have only been a Vice President and as Vice President, I can point to a number of generational issues I have helped to resolve. By the grace of God, if you give me the opportunity, I will do more as President and resolve many issues.”
“A vote for me is a vote for bold solutions. And a vote for my opponent is a vote for old solutions.”
“I am coming with new ideas and bold solutions to move our country forward,” said the Vice President.
“As I have said, I am coming with a new tax system which will bring a flat tax rate and also grant tax amnesty to businesses and individuals,” he said.
“The future is technology and the youth of this country are important to drive what we want to do in technological advancement. That is why I have said we will train about 1 million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications under my Presidency.”
“I am also revising the National Service Scheme. It will no longer be compulsory. Once you are out of school and you can get a job straightway, you don’t have to undertake national service. I want to make it very simple for all.”
Dr. Bawumia also reiterated his Ghanacard to passport policy. He explained that with all biometric details required for passport application already on the Ghanacard, there should be no need for a Ghanaian passport applicant to go through another process to obtain information already captured by the Ghanacard database.
“Once you have a Ghanacard, all you need to do is to pay for the passport application fee online and your passport will be processed and delivered to you without going through another biometric verification process.”
According to Dr. Bawumia’s analysis of the NPP and NDC’s comparative records, the NDC behind the NPP in various sectors.
He enumerated the various achievements of the NPP in the sectors of education, economic indicators, hospital development, tourism, sports infrastructure, digitalization, and much more.
The NPP Flagbearer pleaded with the party’s membership to unite and put in great effort in order to win both the legislative majority and the 2024 presidential election.
Numerous NPP luminaries, including as National Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, and a few Ministers and Deputy Ministers of State, were among the thousands of young people who took part in the early morning walk.
Some of the candidates that participated in the most recent NPP presidential primary were also present.
