Former President John Agyekum Kufour has endorsed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, urging Ghanaians to vote for him in the upcoming December elections.

Mr. Kufour described Vice President Bawumia as a man of destiny, emphasising that he is the right person for the country at this critical juncture.

He stressed that Dr. Bawumia possesses the humility necessary for effective governance.

Speaking at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, ahead of Dr. Bawumia's address, the former president shared his initial encounter with Dr. Bawumia during his presidency.

He expressed his conviction that upon meeting Dr. Bawumia, he recognized his potential for Ghana's political future.

"This young man [Bawumia] has these instruments under his belt, digitilisation, geopolitics and additionally, we've seen him perform loyally under President Akufo-Addo, and he has also been in public view since he got selected as the vice presidential candidate [of NPP] in 2008."

"He is hallmarked by humility and the temperance requisite for the job of leading Ghana on the way forward," former President Kufuor said.

To him, "Ghana has come to a crossroads, and I am serious here, it is not the normal regular politics we want. We want a leader with a vision, even in the complex world, a leader who will be able to match up with the new technologies to pick the requisite manpower," he added.
