The Vice President following his election has promised to unite Ghanaians on all levels if he is elected president after the 2024 polls.

He made these comments over the weekend during a meeting with the Council of Regional Imams, who paid a courtesy call on him to felicitate with him on his election on November 4 as NPP flagbearer.
“I am for all, and if I am elected President, Insha Allah, by the good people of Ghana, I will be a President for all, regardless of one’s ethnic, religious, and political affiliations,” Bawumia said.
“I will be a President for all because poverty, hunger, and disease don’t know whether you are a Muslim or a Christian, NPP or NDC, or whether you are this tribe or that tribe,” he stressed.
“If we live peacefully in Ghana despite our religious and political differences, it is because of such tolerance and respect for diversity.
“It is important for us all, especially between our two religious groups, to continue to respect this diversity and engage more with each other. We have to strengthen this beautiful relationship to preserve it and the peace we enjoy in this country,” he added.
