The Chiefs commended and honoured Dr. Bawumia, who is also the NPP's Presidential Candidate, for his impactful leadership as Vice President, which they said has improved governance and efficiency in public service.

"We acknowledge his dedication to public service and his unwavering commitment to the country's progress, which is evident in his tireless efforts to drive economic growth, improve governance, and enhance the overall well-being of Ghanaians," the Chiefs said of Dr. Bawumia.
