Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has commended the New Patriotic Party’s Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s policies, emphasising their capacity to propel the country’s progress.<\/p>\n At a rally in Abuakwa South on Wednesday, the former president urged people to back Dr. Bawumia, stating that his programs and vision are essential to Ghana’s development.<\/p>\n “I have been listening carefully. Bawumia’s policies, especially his focus on training the youth in entrepreneurial and digital skills, are good. If you don’t want this, what do you want? So I plead with you; he is not just coming for the NPP but for the whole country.<\/p>\n “He will form an inclusive government. His policies will alleviate the suffering of Ghanaians. I have listened to all those talking about their policies, but I haven’t seen anyone with policies as good as Bawumia’s,” he stated.<\/p>\n After receiving criticism for his support of Dr. Bawumia, Kufuor has rejected requests to hold off on making any remarks regarding the general elections in 2024.<\/p>\n Citing his position as a statesman, critics had encouraged the former president to refrain from public endorsements, especially Movement for Change flagbearer Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.<\/p>\n On November 27, Mr. Kufuor defended his support for Dr. Bawumia while speaking to fans at the Ofori Panin Palace at a campaign event in the Abuakwa South constituency alongside NPP running mate Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.<\/p>\n He urged Ghanaians to back the NPP in the next elections and restated his faith in Bawumia’s capacity for leadership.<\/p>\n “I am facing criticism for voicing my opinions on national matters due to my position as a statesman. Experience and wisdom are often associated with age.<\/p>\n “The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is my political affiliation, and it was through this party that I attained the presidency. Additionally, my child, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been elected through the party.<\/p>\n “While I was President, he was a member of the Bank of Ghana team and showed remarkable performance during a challenging period when Ghana was in financial distress. Their efforts were instrumental in revitalising the economy at that time,” Kufuor stated.<\/p>\n I have listened to all the candidates on the ballot, none of them reasons, and thinks the way Dr.Bawumia does <\/p>\n \u2014 President Kufuor pic.twitter.com\/2LgTckjpPc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mr Irish (@MrIrish3) November 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n KA<\/p>\n Watch the latest episode of Everyday People on GhanaWeb TV below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Former](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/804\/80428345.295.jpg\" "\\"Former")
