Dr Bawumia Enters The Race: Ghana's Vice President Declares His Intention To Run For NPP Presidential Primaries

Story by: Samuel K. Owusu

On the evening of Tuesday, May 2, 2023, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia announced his intention to run for the NPP Presidential Primaries scheduled for November 4, 2023. Dr Bawumia's announcement was met with enthusiasm and optimism from Ghanaians, particularly the youth who appreciate his innovative digitalisation ideas. 

However, he faces stiff competition from other aspirants, including Alan Kyeremanteng, a former Trade and Industry Minister, who resigned from his post in January to focus on his presidential ambition. Nine aspirants are expected to contest in the upcoming Presidential Primaries, including former Ministers and MPs, who have already declared their interest to lead the party in the upcoming presidential election. The announcement of Dr Bawumia's candidacy has undoubtedly raised the stakes in the race to succeed President Akufo-Addo in 2025.

Dr Bawumia's boldness to contest in the Presidential Primaries deserves praise. He has been a key member of the Akufo-Addo administration since 2017, and his performance as Vice President has won him many admirers. Dr Bawumia is known for his expertise in economics and finance, and he has played a crucial role in the government's efforts to stabilise the economy, reduce inflation, and create jobs. 

He has also been a leading advocate for digitalisation, which has helped to improve government services and promote transparency and accountability. His track record and vision for the future make him a strong candidate to lead the NPP and Ghana into the future.

Despite Dr Bawumia's strengths, he will face tough competition from Alan Kyeremanteng and the other aspirants. Kyeremanteng is a seasoned politician who has been a member of the NPP for many years. He is also a successful businessman and a former Minister of Trade and Industry, and he has run for the presidency three times in the past. He is well-respected within the party and has a strong base of supporters. 

Other aspirants, such as former Agriculture Minister Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, and former MP for Essikado-Ketan Joe Ghartey, also have their own strengths and appeal to different segments of the party.

The NPP Presidential Primaries will be an important event that will shape the future of the party and Ghana. The winner of the primaries will become the NPP's presidential candidate for the 2024 election, and if successful, will become Ghana's next President. It is, therefore, crucial that the primaries are conducted in a transparent and fair manner to ensure that the best candidate is selected.

In conclusion, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's decision to run for the NPP Presidential Primaries is a significant development in Ghana's political landscape. His announcement has been met with enthusiasm by Ghanaians, particularly the youth who appreciate his digitalisation ideas. 

However, he will face stiff competition from other aspirants, including Alan Kyeremanteng, Kennedy Agyapong, and former Ministers and MPs. The NPP Presidential Primaries will be a crucial event that will shape the future of the party and Ghana. It is essential that the primaries are conducted in a transparent and fair manner to ensure that the best candidate is selected to lead Ghana into the future
