Competent Bawumia is above all the aspirants – Prof. Kingsley Nyarko

Most credible politician
Most credible politician

Professor Kingsley Nyarko, the Member of Parliament for the Kwadaso constituency, has publicly voiced his support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the most deserving candidate for the New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) flagbearership position.

According to him, Bawumia has delivered his role as vice president of Ghana with exceptional skill and effectiveness, making him a strong contender for the party’s highest leadership position.

Speaking in an interview with Pure FM on May 29, 2023, Professor Nyarko referred to Article 60, Clause 6 of the Ghanaian Constitution, which states that the vice president shall assume office for the unexpired term of the president in the event of their death, resignation, or removal from office.

He emphasized that the primary responsibility of the vice president is to support the president. Therefore, to assess Bawumia’s suitability for the flagbearership, one must evaluate his performance in fulfilling this role.

He went on to say that Bawumia has unquestionably proven himself as a capable leader, highlighting his accomplishments and impact.

He further used the initials of Bawumia’s name to describe him as one of the best candidates in the race.

According to Prof. Nyarko’s acronym, Bawumia represents the qualities of being the “Best achiever or accomplisher with unique unmatched… masterclass ideas above all the aspirants.”

“The Constitution of Ghana, Article 60, when you read Sub-clause 6… it says whenever the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president shall assume office for the unexpired term of the office of the president with effect from the date of the death, resignation, or the removal of the president… all those who will contest have the capacity to lead, but why do we have to choose the vice-president? We choose him to come and support the president. So, you have to ask yourself, the work that he came to do, was he able to do it? Did he make any impact?

“If the answer is no, then it means he doesn’t qualify to be considered, but this is somebody who has become vice president, and all of us attest to the fact that the man has acquitted himself so well, he has worked in terms of supporting the president’s agenda… take a pen and write Bawumia vertically, so B stands for best, A, achiever or accomplisher, W, with, U, Unique/unmatched, M masterclass, I ideas, A, Above all the aspirants,” he said.

Meanwhile, five flagbearer hopefuls have picked up their nomination forms to contest the race. They include former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, Francis Addai-Nimoh, former General Secretary of the NPP Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, and Dr. Owusu Afriyie, former minister of Food and Agriculture.

On the other hand, other notable figures like Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, and Alan Kyerematen are expected to pick their nominations in the coming days for the election, which is set for November 4,2023.

In a televised speech to the country on May 28, 2023, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo thanked Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for serving as his deputy.


The Vice President was singled out by the President for his continuous support during trying times, despite the President’s acknowledgment of the crucial role played by government authorities in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I am indebted to the Ministers of State, officials of the Presidency, led by the Chief of Staff, the Parliament and the Judiciary, and all the members of the brilliant COVID-19 Taskforce. I must make special mention of the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who was my reliable source of support in the darkest and most trying moments,” President Akufo-Addo stated.


In addition, President Akufo-Addo thanked a number of people, organisations, government agencies, and the labour movement for their support in Ghana’s fight against the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana was officially proclaimed over by the President at the speech. “In general, since the first case was confirmed in our nation on March 12, 2020, there have been two million, five hundred and thirty-eight thousand, one hundred and ninety-eight (2,538,198) positive cases from two million, five hundred and thirty-eight thousand, one hundred and ninety-eight (2,538,198) tests,” he said, providing the statistics.


Additionally, President Akufo-Addo spoke on the COVID-19 vaccination campaign’s success, noting that 25 million, 170 thousand, 388,2 doses of the vaccine had been delivered. Ten million, five hundred and thirty-six thousand, four hundred and twenty (10,536,420) persons have received their full dose of the vaccine, or 52.7% of the twenty million (20 million) people who were targeted, he continued. Moreover, booster doses were given to 4,599,883 (four million, five hundred and ninety-nine thousand, eight hundred and eighty three) persons.


These facts served as the basis for the significant choices reached on May 17 by the COVID-19 Taskforce, which was presided over by President Akufo-Addo. The President declared that all COVID-related limitations at airports and entry points have been eliminated, bringing the situation in terms of health entrance requirements back to what it was before COVID.
In addition, President Akufo-Addo emphasised the recently secured $3 billion IMF economy assistance facility, which he hopes would help Ghana’s economy recover from the pandemic’s effects.
But President Akufo-Addo didn’t waste any time in emphasising that the IMF loan won’t put an end to the country’s economic problems right away.

Credible Bawumia
Credible Bawumia

Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has emphasised the necessity for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to overcome internal obstacles including petty disagreements, animosity, selfishness, and greed in order to accomplish their objective of “breaking the eight.”
Dr. Bawumia stressed the significance of translating the party’s goals into concrete action during his speech at the regional seminar of the Tertiary Students Confederacy of the NPP (TESCON) conducted at the University of Cape Coast.

Dr. Bawumia admitted that it is insufficient for the party to merely declare its goal to end the eight-year cycle of political power. He emphasised the importance of a cohesive party that addresses problems impeding both national and party advancement. The Vice President declared that by 2024, they will be able to end the eight-year cycle and expressed confidence in the government’s accomplishments.

Dr. Bawumia fully thought that Ghanaians would give the Nana Akufo-Addo government the chance to continue in power through 2024 if they built on their strong foundation, finished current projects, and kept the promises made in the 2020 manifesto. He reassured the populace that the NPP government is dedicated to keeping its commitments.

He said, “I bring you the assurances of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that we will do our best not to disappoint Ghanaians and you, our gallant soldiers.”
Dr. Bawumia mentioned the appointments made by President Akufo-Addo, notably those granted to the youth and TESCON members, in order to highlight the government’s priorities. He emphasised the importance of the NPP ending the eight-year cycle because of the significant advantages that Ghana and its people stood to gain by holding onto power.
“We are aware of the appointments of Nana Addo that have gone to the youth and TESCON members during the previous term and this term.
He added, “What this means is that, as we continue to work hard and hold on to power, the benefit that would accrue to Ghana and by extension to all of us would be enormous, and this is why it is important for us to break the 8.”
The Vice President reaffirmed the government’s dedication to creating an effective public sector, encouraging private sector expansion to create jobs, fighting bribery and corruption, and ensuring a prosperous future for the young and the following generation.

He proudly mentioned the government’s initiatives to increase opportunities in the quickly developing field of technology and digital innovation by offering free Wi-Fi to educational institutions, such as senior high schools, colleges of education, universities, and district education offices.

“We are committed to expanding their opportunities for the fast-emerging world of technological and digital innovation. I am proud that over the last years, we have set free Wifis to 722 Senior High Schools, 13 universities, 46 colleges of education and 216 district education offices,” the Vice President explained.
In order to show that the government is capable of overcoming obstacles, Dr. Bawumia also enumerated a number of issues that they have dealt with or are presently dealing with. These include employment creation, strong economic indicators, social intervention programmes to lessen suffering among citizens, and the digitization of the economy for the benefit of the populace.

Dr. Bawumia’s observations provide insight into the NPP’s priorities and the procedures required to accomplish their goal of ending the eight-year cycle.

Ghana’s Inspiring Strides towards a Digitised Economy: Dr. Bawumia’s Digital Drive, a Man of Vision

A Credible Politician

BY : ENOCH OWUSU-APPIAH

Located in West Africa, Ghana is widely known for its beautiful culture and stunning natural beauty. However, in recent years, the country has gained recognition for its impressive advancement in digitisation, thanks in large part to the efforts of the most effective Vice President in Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Under his leadership, the government has implemented several policies and initiatives aimed at leveraging technology to improve service delivery and create a more efficient economy. The implementation of the Ghana Card, Digital Address System, Mobile Money Payments Interoperability System, etc, in Ghana, have been the cornerstones of this digital transformation.

The Ghana Card initiative is one of Dr. Bawumia’s most notable accomplishments in the field of digitisation. The Ghana Card is a biometric national identity card that is intended to collect personal information and biometric data from all Ghanaian citizens and residents.
The Ghana Card is a critical component of the country’s digitisation goal as it provides a secure and reliable method of identifying citizens and residents. This, in turn, improves access to public services such as healthcare, education, and social assistance programs not forgetting its security benefits.

The digitisation agenda has also extended to the health sector, with the implementation of the Medical Drone Delivery System. It is the world’s largest medical drone delivery network which is operated by Zipline International and makes on-demand delivery of medical supplies to about 2,000 health facilities. The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) was not left out in the digital revolution. The mobile renewal service allows NHIS subscribers to renew their insurance using their mobile phones, thus reducing the need for physical visits to NHIS offices. The new addition is the E-pharmacy which allows subscribers to enter drug prescriptions and make requests, the system also allows subscribers to be linked to multiple licensed pharmacy shops online to compare prices and be assured of quality medications.

In the finance sector, the government through Dr. Bawumia has implemented the Mobile Money Interoperability system, which allows for seamless transfer of funds between different mobile money platforms. This system has helped to increase financial inclusion in Ghana by making it one of the first nations to employ a universal QR Code payment system that accepts both bank accounts and mobile wallets. This project has also made Ghana the fastest-growing mobile money market in Africa, with over 36.9 million registered mobile money accounts.

One of the key pillars of Ghana’s digitization agenda is the National Digital Property Addressing System (NDPAS), also known as the Ghana Post GPS. The system was launched in 2017 to provide every property in Ghana with a unique digital address, making it easier for citizens to identify their location and access various services. The system is accessible via a mobile app, which allows users to search for addresses and also provides directions to the location.

Another significant initiative under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership is the paperless port system. The system, which was implemented in 2018, aims to reduce the time and cost of doing business at Ghana’s ports by digitising the entire process. With the paperless system, all documentation is done electronically, reducing the need for physical inspections and enabling real-time tracking of cargo.

Dr. Bawumia was also instrumental in the implementation of Ghana’s e-procurement system, which aims to streamline the procurement process. The e-procurement system is an online platform that allows government agencies and private-sector organisations to publish tenders and receive bids from vendors. The e-procurement system has helped to minimize corruption, improve transparency, and increase efficiency in the public procurement process by digitising the procurement process. This, in turn, has resulted in significant cost savings for the government and enhanced service delivery to citizens.

Dr. Bawumia’s initiatives to accelerate digitisation in Ghana have had a substantial impact on the country’s progress. The use of digital solutions in many different sectors has not only increased productivity and minimised costs, but it has also increased transparency and accountability.

As the world continues to embrace digital solutions, Ghana’s digitisation efforts under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership serve as a shining example of what can be achieved with political will, vision, and commitment to innovation. The country is well on its way to becoming a digital hub in the region, and Dr. Bawumia’s vision and contributions will undoubtedly be remembered as a critical part of this success story.
