Speaking to party delegates in the Dormaa West Constituency, as part of his campaign tour of the Bono Region, Dr Bawumia said Ghanaians have consistently voted for leaders who inspire hope and deliver results and not those who flaunt material possessions.

“Ghanaians do not vote based on personal wealth but on the ideas a candidate offers,” Dr Bawumia said.“No one uses their own money to develop a country. You cannot ask people to look at your properties and vote for you. What truly matters are the ideas you present to the electorate—ideas that can transform lives and drive national development.”
The former Vice President, who is among five aspirants vying to lead the NPP into the 2028 presidential elections, underscored that governance must be rooted in strategic thinking and problem-solving, not material display or populist appeals.
He argued that leaders must show capacity and creativity in tackling the nation’s pressing challenges, including economic growth, job creation, and youth empowerment.
“It is not about money; it is about vision and ideas, and that is what I bring,” he declared, drawing applause from party members and local chiefs present at the event.
Dr Bawumia urged NPP delegates to rally behind a candidate who embodies innovation and competence, stressing that Ghana needs a leader who can harness digital tools, financial reforms, and pragmatic policies to improve the lives of citizens.
“We must choose a leader who can move Ghana forward with practical and modern solutions, not someone who believes showing off wealth is leadership,” he added.
Dr Bawumia’s message comes as part of his ongoing nationwide campaign to secure the NPP flagbearership ahead of the 2028 general elections. His campaign has focused on economic transformation, youth empowerment, and technology-driven governance, positioning him as a reform-minded candidate seeking to redefine leadership within the party and the country.
