The leader of the New Patriotic Party, Mahamudu Bawumia, has stated that former President John Mahama who is expected to be his primary opponent in the 2024 presidential contest must permit Bawumia to also run for president.
On Sunday, May 19, 2024, Vice President Bawumia met with Wa Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV at his palace in Wa. He remarked that, in accordance with the traditional leader’s advice, his campaign has been free of insults. He also mentioned that he has recommended Mr. Mahama to be patient as he also becomes president.
“I am very much guided by your advice and that advice is one that I have been implementing and sharing my ideas with the people of Ghana with no insult to anybody”, he said.
“Just my ideas and this is how I have been campaigning throughout. So that is the message we will be going around with. To tell Ghanaians what I am going to do as president and what we have done as a government to ask for the people’s support to go to the next level.”
“My main opponent [and I] are all your children. We are both from the North and he has been president before but I haven’t been president before. So, I have told him that he is my senior brother, and he should have patience for me so I can also become president of this country” he stated.
“I will be able to be president for eight years, and he can only be president for four years, so if the presidency is coming home, then we should have it for eight years rather than four years” Dr Bawumia added.
