Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, an aspirant for the presidency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that he has his own vision for Ghana, which is to see the nation utilize technology, data, and systems for equitable economic growth.
In the elections of 2024, the Vice President hopes to represent the NPP as its standard bearer.
After submitting his presidential candidacy paperwork at the party headquarters, the Vice President addressed the party’s followers and said that he had put in a lot of effort in both his personal and professional lives to be where he is today.
Although he worked in a number of positions under former President John Agyekum Kufour, notably as the Bank of Ghana’s deputy governor and then as vice president, he has his own ideas for the nation.
He said “I also have my own vision for Ghana. I believe that it is time to move Ghana to the next level by building on the foundations we have put in place so far”.
He continued “Together with you, I want to see a Ghana where we leverage technology, data and systems for inclusive economic growth. I want to make Ghana the digital hub of Africa. I want us to bridge the digital divide and apply digital technology and artificial intelligence for the transformation of healthcare, education, and public service delivery amongst others”.
“Over the last 22 years, I have worked hard with you for the NPP and for Ghana from during the Kufuor era as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, through our years in opposition and now in government. During this period, I have sacrificed for the party, I have defended the party in good times and in challenging times, I have never wavered nor slacked. Never! and I have built a solid track record of performance as Vice President and unflinching loyalty to our party and government through rain or shine,” he declared.
