Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2024 election, met with Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace during his campaign tour in the Ashanti Region. Otumfuo advised Bawumia to be clear and truthful in his political campaign to win the trust of Ghanaians.
Bawumia has been promoting his vision for economic growth and has claimed to have championed 33 policies as Vice President, contrasting this with former President Mahama’s record. The discussions around his campaign have sparked varied reactions, with some expressing support and others criticizing his claims and political strategy.
“What Nana Addo saw in you and made you his Vice is the reason you are here today,” the Asantehene told Dr. Bawumia.
“He had confidence in you that you could help him. He had confidence in you that he could nurture you to take over the mantle from him and move Ghana forward,” he added.
“Ghana needs development and progress, and I appreciate your vision for the country.”
“The mantle in your hand is very huge, so keep spreading your vision and policies to Ghanaians so they can understand you.”
“I believe you can move Ghana forward if you get the chance,” said the Asantehene
