The Vice President and the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate for the 2024 elections, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has cast his vote in the Walewale constituency in the North East Region.
Dr. Bawumia, who is contesting to become Ghana’s next president, exercised his franchise at his hometown polling station.
The Walewale constituency holds deep sentimental value for the Vice President, as it is not only his place of origin but also a key political stronghold for his party.
His presence there is seen as a boost for voter turnout, benefiting both his presidential bid and the NPP’s parliamentary candidate in the constituency.
As the NPP’s candidate, Dr. Bawumia has campaigned on a platform of economic recovery, digital transformation, and job creation, positioning himself as the leader to steer Ghana through its current challenges.
His voting today marks a key moment in his journey toward potentially becoming Ghana’s first Muslim president should he be elected at the end of the 2024 election cycle.
