Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, will make a good president, in the opinion of Dr. Mark Assibey-Yeboah, a former chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee.
Speaking on a radio station in Accra, the former MP for New Juaben South praised Dr. Bawumia and the difference he has made in his role as Vice President.

Dr. Assibey-Yeboah stated, “He has done his part, and from what I can tell from looking at his resume, he will make a good President.”
The former legislator asserted that Dr. Bawumia will make a good President and expressed his confidence in him, saying that there is a significant difference between being a Vice President and a President. He also said that Dr. Bawumia’s current position as Vice President “is not really representative of” his future role as President.
Dr. Assibey-Yeboah also highlighted the contributions of Dr. Bawumia to the NPP, saying it “cannot be discounted”.
“He has paid his dues to the party. When you look at how our numbers have gone up in the northern regions; now in the Northern Region for instance, we have 9 seats and the NDC also has 9 seats,” he said.
“You cannot discount his impact. Even in Savannah Region, we have 3 and the NDC have 4. In the entirety of the old Northern Region, NPP have 16 and the NDC have 15. In recent past, the NPP had only 3 seats out of 31,” the former MP said.
