According to him, his promises are based on practical solutions, not political rhetoric.
Speaking during a public engagement, Dr. Bawumia stressed that leadership must be judged by vision, implementation, and results rather than slogans.
He argued that throughout his time in public service, particularly as Vice President, he demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation, reform, and problem-solving.
“My promises are not empty,” Dr. Bawumia stated. “They are backed by ideas, data, and a clear understanding of Ghana’s challenges.
Leadership is about offering solutions that can be implemented, not just saying what people want to hear.”
He highlighted digitalisation as one of the key areas where his ideas translated into action, citing initiatives that transformed public service delivery, financial inclusion, and identity management systems.
According to him, these reforms laid a strong foundation for efficiency and transparency in governance.
Dr. Bawumia also addressed criticisms surrounding economic difficulties experienced during his tenure, noting that global shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and international financial instability affected many economies, including Ghana’s.
He maintained that despite these challenges, his policy direction remains relevant and necessary for long-term national development.
He urged Ghanaians, particularly young people, to assess political leaders based on ideas, integrity, and capacity to adapt to changing circumstances.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that meaningful leadership requires courage to pursue reforms even when they are unpopular in the short term.
The former Vice President further assured supporters that his vision prioritizes economic stability, job creation, technological advancement, and inclusive growth.
He stated that his leadership approach focuses on empowering citizens and building systems that work efficiently for all.
As political debate intensifies ahead of upcoming elections, Dr. Bawumia’s comments have reignited discussions about credibility, performance, and the value of policy continuity.
For his supporters, his insistence that his promises are not empty reinforces their belief in his leadership potential. For critics, it presents an opportunity to further scrutinize his ideas.
Ultimately, Dr. Bawumia maintained that the true test of leadership lies in the ability to translate promises into action—an expectation he says he is ready to meet.
