The flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, believes that Ghana needs a new president.

He thinks that someone who hasn’t been president before will move the country in a better direction.

Considering the current state of the country, Dr. Bawumia believes that Ghana does not need a 'second-hand' president.

He made this known during a Youth Connect programme on his campaign train.

“We are going to elect a new president in December 2024. When I say a new president, I mean a new president and not a second-hand president. We are going to elect a president who will take us into the future, not a president who will take us back into the past.

We are looking forward; we are not going backwards. We want a president who thinks about possibilities, not impossibilities. We want Ghana to become a beacon for all African countries, for all the world to see what can be done with possibilities. Former President Mahama is a former president; let’s maintain him as a former president,” he said.
