In these challenging times, Ghana needs a leader who is not only capable but also deeply committed to leading our nation and securing a brighter future for all. That leader is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

With his proven record of experience as vice president of Ghana, including digitization for Ghana, monetary and fiscal policy affairs, foreign policy expertise, and innovative problem- solving, among many others, Dr. Bawumia is the best person to lead Ghana. 

The Digital Ghana Agenda, led by the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has given Ghana incredible transformative future. 

Through digitalization, Ghana has done things that some developed countries in the West can only dream of. Today, Ghana has a national ID card system – the Ghana card, electronic auto insurance database, mobile money interoperability, electronic national procurement platform, etc. Dr. Bawumia has demonstrated the ability to lead with both strength and compassion. 

During a town hall meeting with Ghanaians living in Massachusetts, he repeated his commitment to raising Ghana’s revenue sources for development, without breaking the backs of the average working Ghanaian citizen. He has consistently shown the courage to make tough decisions while always keeping the Ghanaian people at the center of those decisions.

Dr. Bawumia has shown that he truly understands the needs of Ghanaians — from working families to small business owners like farmers ad traders, and from educators to healthcare professionals. 

He is the candidate who doesn’t just talk about economic development and job creation but works tirelessly to deliver it. By making digitalization a reality in Ghana, he proved his detractors wrong. 

Some people even said it was impossible. Well, here we are. His vision for the future is one of prosperity, inclusivity and justice, where opportunity is not determined by background or affiliation, but by hard work and determination, regardless of whether you are an Ewe, Ga-Dangme, Akan, Gurma, Guan, Grusi, Akwapim, Mfante, Mande, etc. Dr. Bawumia is “committed to leading this nation towards a brighter future, one that is inclusive and taps into the talents and resources of all its citizens, regardless of their political or religious affiliations,” in his own words. 

For many years, many of us voted along tribal or religious lines. We are in a new era in Ghana. Vote your conscious, regardless of tribal, religious or ethnic affiliation. I am asking you to change and vote for the candidate who can deliver, and that is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. 

He will protect the Free SHS policy for all. This is 2024. Think about your employment situation and vote for the person who can create jobs. Ghana is a country of tremendous resources and, if you are like me, you want to see it’s development on a fast track. I am challenging the youth to vote for a prosperous Ghana, for you alone can save our broken world.

Vote for Dr. Bawumia and you will not regret it. I am asking you to vote differently, if you want a different result. Vote for Dr. Bawumia. He will continue to pay all the Student Allowances. The future of Ghana is too important to leave to chance. 

That’s why I’m proudly endorsing Dr. Bawumia for president. He has the vision, the courage, and the leadership to move Ghana in the direction it needs to go.

Therefore, I appeal to all our brothers and sisters, especially the youth who stand to inherit Ghana’s future, to vote wisely. Vote for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for president. This election is not just about politics; it’s about the future of our youth. 

We need a leader who can create jobs, economic growth and development, a strong advocate for investing in local industries, and who can champion exploration of our natural resources without sacrificing our traditional values and environmental vitality. The future of Ghana is at stake during this election. It is our future, and that is what this election is about. The choice is clear. 

The choice is yours. Dr. Bawumia has the experience, the integrity, and the passion to lead us toward a brighter future. 

I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for president and I ask every Ghanaian to vote for his vision of a stronger, more advanced nation. Ghana deserves better.
