Ismail Yahuza, a former northern region campaign coordinator for presidential hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alana Kyerematen, has expressed that Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is the answer for the party in “breaking the 8” at the 2024 general elections.
According to him, the trajectory and exigencies of the political and governance landscape is increasingly changing and demanding different breed of leaders of which the NPP cannot gloss over. He revealed that these and many other dynamics must be the considerations that must guide the NPP as it prepares to elect its Presidential candidate for victory 2024.
Mr Yahuza stated that there is no doubt the 2024 Presidential elections will be fought fearlessly by both the NPP and the other political parties, particularly the NDC. With this, he noted that the NPP shall competitively win the elections based on the overwhelming development record, the quality, competence, moral and ethical credentials of its Presidential candidate.
“… Without any equivocation, I believe Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is already in demand, and he is the answer for the NPP. Dr. Bawumia is an embodiment of competence; he exudes an aura of distinct leadership expertise and peace. There is no argument against the fact that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been the only Vice President since the Fourth Republic who has shown a demonstrable capability and agility in that position.”

Mr Yahuza highlighted that Dr Bawumia is the most dynamic, collaborative, and engaged Vice President the country has ever seen, at least during the Fourth Republic. As such, he indicated that it is wonderful that he uses innovative thinking and imaginative policy-making initiatives to provide Ghana a competitive edge within the comity of nations.
“He is widely regarded with directing the government’s initiatives to digitally formalize our economy on the path of rebound and advancement. Since his emergence into the National Political stage, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has maintained his commitment to the cause by supporting the party and its flagbearer in all crucial situations. By choosing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as our running mate in four consecutive elections, the NPP has demonstrated its confidence in him for his commitment, loyalty, and value addition to the cause. It is certainly not a coincidence that he constantly enjoys the backing of the party and the President in the discharge of responsibilities.”

Bawumia tipped to win NPP’s presidential primaries
Describing Dr Bawumia’s leadership, Mr Yahuza revealed that it is the type of leadership that recognizes respect for people irrespective of faith, creed or ethnicity in a manner that fosters national cohesion. Across shades of opinion, he emphasized that the Presidency of Dr Bawumia will provide a perfect balance of representation, where for the first time a Muslim assumes the leadership of our country.
“If Bawumia is chosen as the NPP’s flagbearer, he has two major advantages: many Christians find him to be approachable despite the fact that he is a Muslim, and Muslims who previously supported the NDC will most likely flip to the NPP. Having served as a running mate for the NPP on four separate occasions, having made a significant contribution to the victory of two of those general elections to become a Vice President for two terms, Dr Bawumia has garnered enough political experience.
“He has become a household name and the only political figure in demand, favoured across all political lines. In terms of marketability and popularity across the country, Dr. Bawumia has a tremendous and unequaled appeal and pedigree.”

In preparation for the 2024 election, Mr Yahuza expressed the need for the party to send an encouraging message to the majority of Ghanaians that the NPP is a party that accepts and provides opportunities for all and ensures that regardless of one’s creed, ethnicity, or gender, it is still able to attain the party’s number one spot.
“I hereby declare my support for H. E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the NPP in the 2024 presidential elections and call on the party to vote him in the upcoming presidential primaries as our presidential candidate.”
