Samira Bawumia, the wife of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has said she is confident that her husband will be sworn in as the first ‘Muslim’ president of Ghana on January 7, 2025.

She said the feat of Dr. Bawumia, who is the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), would serve as a significant milestone in the political history of the country.

Samira Bawumia said the NPP chose his husband as its flagbearer due to his integrity, humility, hard work, and proven record, stressing “Alhaji Dr. Bawumia is ready to serve the nation in integrity and humility with all that he has.”

The Second Lady said this when she addressed the chiefs and people of Wenchi at a mammoth rally as part of her campaign visit to the Bono Region to canvass votes for the Vice President, as the 2024 election gathered momentum.

Hajia Bawumia said the choice of Alhaji Dr. Bawumia as a presidential candidate defeated the wrong perception that the NPP was an Akan-based political party, stressing, that she had hope and confidence that her husband could turn the fortunes of the nation around if given the nod in the forthcoming elections.

She said the NPP cared about the general welfare of Muslims, and the holistic development of Muslim communities and entreated the electorate, particularly, those in the Zongo communities to vote for the NPP to give her husband the chance to bring the development of the nation to the next level.

Samira Bawumia said Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is passionate about youth and women empowerment, saying under his government jobs and more opportunities would be created for them.

The Second Lady was accompanied by Justina Owusu-Banahene, the Bono Regional Minister, and Kwame Baffo, the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP.
