Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, said over the weekend that he entered into politics to serve and transform lives, not to amass wealth.
During his campaign tour of Amenfi West in the Western Region, Dr. Bawumia said his greatest satisfaction in politics comes from improving lives through innovative policies rather than pursuing personal gain.
He therefore urged party delegates to support his 2028 leadership bid.
“I am in politics to change lives, not chase wealth. I am not in politics because of money,” said the former Vice President.
Dr Bawumia highlighted his record of integrity and prudent resource management during his tenure as Vice President, citing the Mobile Money Interoperability project, which he said was completed at a cost of $4.5 million, compared to the $1.2 billion initially proposed under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
According to him, the initiative helped Ghana save over $1.1 billion, underscoring his commitment to efficient governance and value for money.
“If I were in politics for money, I would have taken advantage of that. All this money saved would have been debt on our heads to pay, so I am not in politics to gain, but to transform lives — as I am already doing,” he reiterated.
Dr. Bawumia is campaigning to seek re-election as the presidential candidate for the party in the upcoming NPP presidential primary on January 31, 2026. Enditem
