Former Vice President and 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has publicly acknowledged the shortcomings of the NPP-led administration and issued an apology to Ghanaians, while appealing for renewed trust ahead of the upcoming general elections.
Speaking at an engagement in London, Dr. Bawumia admitted that although the NPP had made significant progress in governance, it had also made several mistakes along the way.
In a candid and reflective tone, he said:
“The NPP did a lot of work there’s no doubt about that but we did not get everything right. We got quite a few things wrong, and I think that, on my own behalf, on behalf of the party and the government, I apologise to all of you for us not getting the things right that we should have gotten.”
He assured Ghanaians that the party has taken stock of its errors and is ready to improve if given another opportunity to govern.
“I believe that if, by the grace of God, we have another opportunity, we will get many things right, because we have learnt the lessons from where we are,” he added.
Dr. Bawumia’s remarks come in the wake of the NPP’s disappointing performance in the 2024 elections.
