Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, has earned widespread admiration for his remarkable ascent in the country’s political arena. His sudden emergence as the running mate for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate in 2008, left many party members and influential figures astounded.
As an economist and former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Bawumia became the face of the party, captivating Ghanaians with his economic lectures that revealed the alleged mismanagement of the economy under the John Dramani Mahama government. This played a significant role in the NPP’s victory in the 2016 elections.

He recounted his educational journey from Sakasaka Primary School to Tamale Secondary School, his studies at Oxford University, his tenure as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, and ultimately, his role as Vice President of the Republic of Ghana. Expressing gratitude for his journey, he acknowledged God’s guidance in his remarkable rise.
Dr. Bawumia also shared an anecdote about struggling to pay his school fees during his tertiary education and resorting to cleaning dormitories to sustain himself.
