Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia vs. Alan Cash: Who Wins The Flagbeareship Position?

Ghanaian politics is often marked by heated debates and rivalries between political parties and candidates. In recent times, two personalities who have emerged as strong contenders for the presidency within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) are Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Kyerematen, popularly known as Alan Cash.

Both men have a wealth of experience in politics, economics, and governance, but their approaches and ideologies differ in several ways.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the current Vice President of Ghana and a prominent economist who has served in various capacities in the public and private sectors.

He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the prestigious Simon Fraser University in Canada and has worked with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB).

In contrast, Alan Kyerematen is a businessman and politician who has served in various government positions, including the Minister for Trade and Industry.

One of the key differences between Bawumia and Alan Cash is their approach to economic policies. Bawumia is known for his expertise in economics and is seen as a proponent of economic liberalism, advocating for policies that promote free markets, deregulation, and privatization.

On the other hand, Alan Cash is seen as more of a protectionist, advocating for policies that protect local businesses and industries and promote import substitution.

Another key difference between the two is their political base. Bawumia is widely seen as a northern politician, having been born in Walewale in the Northern Region of Ghana.

In contrast, Alan Cash is seen as a southern politician, having been born in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. This difference in the political base has led to some speculation that the NPP may be divided along regional lines in the upcoming presidential primaries.

Despite these differences, there are also some similarities between Bawumia and Alan Cash. Both men are seen as competent and experienced, with a track record of service in government and the private sector.

They have both been touted as potential presidential candidates for the NPP, and their supporters believe that they have what it takes to lead the party to victory in the 2024 presidential elections.

In conclusion, the race for the NPP presidential candidacy between Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Alan Cash is shaping up to be an interesting one.

While they differ in their economic ideologies and political bases, they share a commitment to service and a desire to see Ghana prosper.

Only time will tell who will emerge as the candidate of choice for the NPP, but one thing is certain – the party will have a strong candidate to take on the opposition in the 2024 presidential elections.
