K.T. Hammond To Mahama: Hold off Until Bawumia Serves Out His 8-year Presidential Tenure

The Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa Constituency, K.T Hammond, has advised former President John Dramani Mahama to allow Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to complete his potential eight-year term before considering a return to the presidency.

Hammond emphasized that Mahama, having previously served as president, should let Bawumia, who doubles as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer have his turn at the country’s helm.

Speaking to the media after parliamentary proceedings on February 27, 2024, the Minister for Trade pointed out Mahama’s absence from parliamentary sessions since President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo assumed office, highlighting that his sudden interest in attending Akufo-Addo’s State of the Nation Address raises questions.

“President Mahama since Akufo-Addo came into power has never been to the chamber before, today is the first time that he came here to listen to him. Why did he come and listen to him? …Because they have told him that it is time for him to become president,” Hammond asserted.

He added, “He should wait; he has already been a president before, so he should wait until Bawumia finishes his 8-year presidential tenure, and if he wants to contest, then he can come.”
