Member of Parliament(MP) for Ablekuma West, Hon Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has thrown her weight behind former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s presidential campaign.
Addressing the significance of the endorsement, Ursula remarked, “President Kufuor’s support for Dr Bawumia is not about favouritism; it’s about capability and vision. Bawumia has demonstrated, time and again, that he understands what it takes to propel Ghana forward, particularly in this digital age.”
Owusu emphasized Bawumia’s success in modernizing Ghana’s economy with digital projects like mobile money interoperability and digitized government services, showing his preparedness to take the lead.
She described these efforts as “game-changing policies” that have laid the foundation for a future-ready Ghana. “If we are serious about building a 21st-century economy,” she said, “then we need a leader like Dr. Bawumia, who has already shown us the way.”
While there have been doubts about the political effects of Kufuor’s choice, especially how it may affect Alan Kyerematen’s leadership ambitions in the NPP, Ursula wasted no time in dispelling any ideas of betrayal.
“This is not about personal loyalties or past relationships,” she argued. “Kufuor’s endorsement reflects his deep understanding of what Ghana needs at this critical juncture. Bawumia represents a forward-thinking approach that Alan has not convincingly articulated.”
The lawmaker emphasized the significant symbolism of Kufuor’s endorsement, highlighting the uncommon nature of a past president publicly supporting a party’s internal competition.
“Kufuor isn’t someone who speaks lightly,” she said. “If he’s gone out of his way to publicly back Dr. Bawumia, it’s because he sees what we all see—a leader ready to take Ghana to the next level.”
