"His Excellency Alhaji Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia who hails from Walewale in the North East Region of Ghana, attended a school in Tamale, had a degree from University of Buckingham and has worked as an Economist in various disciplines; teaching, banking, governance, etc, would come fiercely against John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress who has been at almost every stage of the political ladder within the system under dispensation and has therefore been a Minister, a Vice President and President before-now seeking another Presidential term after losing to Nana Akufo-Addo in 2016. Dr. Bawumia and Mahama would face each other in the December 2024 Elections. Various institutions would continue to play their role before, during and after the election. It will take place alongside the Parliamentary Election in December 2024."

Yesterday, the NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, shared this write-up below on Facebook as an update of his campaign which I believe was worthy for him to call on the Muslim community to give their input into his plans for the country.

He therefore writes....

"This afternoon, together with the leadership of my campaign and manifesto committees, I welcomed the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu and leadership of the National Muslim Conference (NMC), who presented to me, their proposals, for consideration into the NPP's 2024 Manifesto.

While reiterating the NPP's commitment to inclusive development, I presented to the NMC, the massive infrastructure and other development projects our government has undertaken in Zongos across the country, such as classroom blocks, ICT libraries, mechanised water system, entrepreneurial training, scholarships and astro turfs, funded through the Zongo Development Fund, which we established in fulfilment of our campaign promise.

We remain committed to the development of our country through policies and structures, and my campaign and manifesto team, are ready to consider inputs from the NMC, and other stakeholders, for our inclusive development."

"Since 1966, every month of February in Ghana’s history is highly marked as the month the first President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was overthrown by a military clique and many have witnessed long constitutional changes which have brought the country to a point where two illustrious sons of former Ministers of Nkrumah will fiercely contest for constitutional power in the December 2024 elections."

Today, the Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, met with celebrated actor, Idris Elba and his team, and had a meaningful dialogue on the dynamic and expanding creative arts economy of Africa. The focus of the meeting was on the financial inclusion of Ghanaian creative arts and devising strategies to integrate them into the worldwide financial ecosystem. Many African industry players are locked out of the global payments ecosystem so the Vice President and Idris discussed the proposed implementation of a new system leveraging blockchain technology to assist them and ensure that they get paid for their music and arts no matter where in the world it is used commercially.

Given Ghana’s relatively advanced system of digital payments, the new system is expected to be launched in Ghana later this year. The Vice President thanked Idris Elba for his commitment to the development of the African creative arts economy.
