Nana Akomea, a senior figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has defended Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s leadership credentials, urging Ghanaians to focus on competence rather than business background. In a recent interview, Akomea argued that effective governance is rooted in public service performance, not private sector success.

Akomea also revealed that Bawumia intends to introduce a constituency budget system if elected president. The initiative would decentralise resources, allowing every constituency to directly benefit from national development. He described the plan as a practical step toward equity and transparency.
Beyond policy, Akomea praised Bawumia’s support for party members at all levels, from grassroots executives to national leaders. He assured that Bawumia’s leadership would prioritise fairness in appointments, moving away from political favoritism.
