Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and 2024 flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced his candidacy for president.

On September 9, Dr. Bawumia filed his nomination at the Electoral Commission (EC) headquarters with the help of his wife, running mate, the chief of staff, and other supporters.

EC Chairperson Jean Mensa, who received the nomination, pointed out that this was the first time a vice president in office had personally filed a nomination form to run in the national election.

“This is the first time that a sitting vice president has personally presented his nomination form to the Electoral Commission,” she said.

Madam Mensa thanked Dr Bawumia for this act and assured him that a team would begin reviewing the forms.

In response, Dr Bawumia expressed his gratitude to his team and God for granting him the grace to make history.

“For me, it is personally a very historic opportunity to submit these forms for the first time as a presidential candidate,” he said.

In the run-up to the elections, he prayed that everyone would join him in asking God to bless Ghana. He restated the party’s position that a peaceful election process is essential.

In addition, the NPP flagbearer asked for prayers for the Electoral Commission, recognizing that they faced the most challenging task ever.

“Historically, I think Ghana is in a very envious position as far as the conduct of elections is concerned and I believe that Madam Chair and your team will leave it up to it. But let’s pray they will continue to pray for God’s blessings for the EC and also pray for God’s blessings for the New Patriotic Party, myself and my team so that we will emerge victorious in this elections,” he said.
