Former Vice President of Ghana and 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has made a heartfelt appeal to Ghanaians for forgiveness over the shortcomings of the outgoing administration.

Speaking during the NPP’s Thank You Tour in Goaso, Dr. Bawumia expressed that the party had learned valuable lessons from its time in government and was committed to improving if given the opportunity again.

“We recognise that we have made mistakes along the way,” Dr. Bawumia said, “and we sincerely ask for your forgiveness.”

Addressing a large crowd of party supporters and local residents, Dr. Bawumia emphasised the importance of accountability and reflection in governance. He noted that the NPP deeply appreciated the support it had received over the years and was focused on regaining the trust of the people.

“This Thank You Tour is not just a celebration; it is also a moment of sober reflection,” he remarked. “We have listened to your concerns, and we are determined to chart a new path forward together.”

The former Vice President also urged Ghanaians not to lose hope in the NPP’s vision for the country. He pointed to the party’s achievements in digitalisation, infrastructure development, and economic stabilisation, asserting that despite the challenges, significant progress had been made.

“We will not make excuses,” Dr. Bawumia stated. “Instead, we pledge to correct our lapses and to deliver even better governance in the future.”

In conclusion, Dr. Bawumia called for unity among party members and supporters nationwide. He stressed the significance of the 2024 election for Ghana’s democracy and appealed for continued faith in the NPP’s mission.

“Let us move forward together with a renewed sense of purpose,” he urged. “We owe it to every Ghanaian to serve with humility, dedication, and an unrelenting commitment to progress.”
