Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has touted his credentials to show that he is the best person to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the 2028 general election after filing his nomination for the party’s presidential primaries on August 28, 2025.

According to Bawumia, he has gained the accolade of the ‘most effective Vice President’ because of the transformational policies he spearheaded when he served under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

He asserted that being the best Vice President Ghana has ever seen, only means that he could be one of the best presidents in the country’s history, if given the chance to lead the nation.

What Bawumia subtly said about his contenders in NPP's presidential race

“This implies that, given the opportunity, I can equally become one of the most effective presidents in Ghana’s history. I demonstrated my strength by getting results, not by making noise or by insults or bragging about money,” he said.

He listed the policies, which he said significantly impacted the lives of millions of Ghanaians, as follows:

Bank of Ghana’s Gold Purchase Programme (The first in Africa)

Gold for Oil (The first in Africa)

Accelerated issuance of the Ghana Card

Mobile Money Interoperability (The first in Africa)

GhanaPost Digital Property Address System (The first in Africa)

Agenda 111

Zipline Medical Drone Delivery (The largest in the world)

Universal QR Code Payment System (The first in Africa)
