Reflecting on their long-standing political relationship, the former president recalled selecting Dr Bawumia as his running mate 18 years ago, a partnership that saw them campaign together through four national elections.
“I know his mind, his character, his love for Ghana, and his appetite for hard work. He is loyal to party and country,” Akufo-Addo stated.
He expressed confidence that with the backing of the party’s grassroots and the continued support of its financiers, Dr Bawumia is well-positioned to lead the NPP to victory in the next general election.
“With the full support of our rank and file and the continued generosity of our supporters, I know that he will lead us back to victory,” the former president added.
Dr Bawumia’s victory in the January 31 primaries gives him the mandate to lead the NPP into the next general election as the party seeks to reclaim power following its defeat in the 2024 polls.
