In a recent address, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, spokesperson for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, articulated a compelling case for Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and dedication to Ghana’s youth development.
Addressing a younger audience, Miracles Aboagye underscored the importance of distinguishing between different political leaders, stressing the need for voters to make informed decisions by assessing the background, track record, and actions of each candidate. His remarks aimed to resonate particularly with the youth, who may feel disillusioned by past administrations.
Miracles Aboagye began by emphasizing the significance of the Vice President role, suggesting that this position has enabled Dr. Bawumia to spearhead efforts to formalize and transform Ghana’s economy for the benefit of future generations.
“The Vice President position was important to him,” Miracles Aboagye stated, adding that it provided Bawumia the platform to enact meaningful change, which was often overshadowed by the inaction of previous administrations.
He reflected on the long-term challenges facing the country and stated that even with sustained efforts, it would take time to recover fully from the damage done by previous leaders:
“We’ve had governments come to play and do very little for this country. So even if you come in and have even 4, 5, 6, or 7 years and are doing so much, you have little space to be able to fill up the deep hole created.”

Restoring Faith in Politics
He encouraged young people to remain engaged in the democratic process and to recognize that positive change can be achieved by identifying and supporting leaders who have demonstrated commitment and competence.
“Not all politicians are the same. Do not lose faith. Losing faith in the name of ‘all politicians are the same’ is like giving up on your country.”

The Power of Informed Voting
Miracles Aboagye also stressed the importance of voting and urged young people to research and evaluate political candidates thoroughly before casting their ballots.
According to Miracles Aboagye, voting is a way for citizens to hold leaders accountable and prevent those with questionable motives from gaining power.
He emphasized that young people should examine each candidate’s record and scrutinize their claims.
“Listen to the politicians. Don’t just listen to what they are saying. Check their background, their history, and their record, and compare that against what they are saying today to decide if they can be trusted.”

The Legacy of Dr. Bawumia’s Leadership
Miracles Aboagye highlighted Dr. Bawumia’s accomplishments as Vice President, describing him as a leader who has consistently prioritized structural reforms, especially those benefiting the youth.
He pointed to Bawumia’s role in formalizing Ghana’s economy and establishing systems that would provide long-term stability and growth, although these changes may not yield immediate, tangible benefits.
“I speak for a Vice President who, I believe, stands above all others. He has led the agenda to formalize our economy and address the basic things neglected for so many years. These efforts are for you and I, the young people.”

A Comparison of Leaders
In comparing Dr. Bawumia with others with former President John Dramani Mahama, Miracles Aboagye argued that Ghana’s progress in recent years can be attributed to policies enacted under Bawumia’s watch. For instance, he credited Dr. Bawumia with maintaining a stable power supply and criticized former presidents who failed to address Ghana’s energy crises effectively.
“We had a president who left the entire country in darkness for 4 years. And we have a president who has kept the lights on for 8 years. This is the distinction between leaders.”

Education and Opportunity for All
In his view, such policies demonstrate a commitment to equal opportunity and reflect a stark contrast with previous administrations.
“Today, 5.7 million Ghanaian children, including millions from poor families, are able to access secondary education thanks to Free SHS. This is a leader who has made a difference.”

Miracles Aboagye called on young voters to avoid generalizing all politicians as ineffective, instead encouraging them to consider the specific achievements and leadership qualities that distinguish one candidate from another.
“It would be very, wrong for you to box all politicians into one space and say, ‘Because of [someone], I’m not going to vote.”
