Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP)
The former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansah-Asare, has expressed confidence that the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, may not be as dishonest as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to Ansah-Asare, President Akufo-Addo is at the top of the corruption ladder, with former President John Dramani Mahama coming in second.
Speaking in an interview with Bobie Ansah on Accra 100.5FM on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Ansah-Asare expressed his view that Dr. Bawumia would manage his administration differently from President Akufo-Addo's and avoid a series of corruption scandals.
"I believe Dr. Bawumia may not be as corrupt as Nana Addo. When it comes to the corruption ladder, Nana Addo may top, with former President John Dramani Mahama placing second," the veteran lawyer said, as reported by classfmonline.com.
Mr. Ansah-Asare asserted that Dr. Bawumia had been cleared of any wrongdoing by the corrupt officials in the current administration.
He continued, "We know the people who have arrogated the position of Prime Minister onto themselves in the country. Dr. Bawumia can do things differently if elected, for Ghanaians to see that he truly is the economic whiz kid he has been portrayed as over the years."
He quickly clarified that, despite being an NPP cardholder, he is not currently running for president; rather, he believes that Dr. Bawumia will be a different leader than former President John Dramani Mahama.
