The Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is 61 years today.
Born on October 7, 1963, Dr Bawumia came from a politically-astute family. His father, the late Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia, was one of the most iconic political figures to emerge from the northern part of Ghana.
Consummate Politician
A consummate politician, Dr Bawumia has registered so many highs in his political life. Through his data-laden presentations explaining government policies, he has carved a niche for himself as a rare politician who does not engage in the toxic politics of insults, but one who focuses on issues.
NPP Celebrates Him
Last week, the NPP released a statement to celebrate the birthday of the man who is tipped to lead the party to break the 8-year election cycle between the two leading political parties – NPP and NDC.
