The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has praised the implementation of the free senior high school policy.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who is also the Vice President of Ghana said the policy is a significant one and has benefited Ghanaians.

He said this while on a campaign tour of the Bono East Region on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, where he engaged with chiefs, stakeholders, and citizens, appealing to them to vote massively for the NPP.

He opined that the party has successfully implemented the free SHS policy, and Ghanaians must vote for the NPP to protect it.

“We promised to implement free SHS, and we delivered despite objection from John Dramani Mahama. The beauty is that many have benefitted,” he said.

He also toured the Eastern Region, where he visited the Abetifi and Mpraeso constituencies.

The paramount chief of Mpraeso commended Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and asked Ghanaians to trust him and ignore claims that he was a liar.

“Many are quick to label Dr. Bawumia as a liar. However, all his pronouncements are good; he’s a good leader. Due to his efforts, Ghana is now ranked among the top three in the world in a number of areas,” the chief said.
