Vice President of Ghana Voices Out To Ghanaians

As of April 2025, Ghana’s Vice President is Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, who made history by becoming the country’s first female Vice President following the 2024 general elections. She was sworn into office in January 2025 alongside President John Dramani Mahama. 

In recent developments, former Vice President and 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, addressed concerns regarding political intimidation. He urged NPP members and supporters to remain calm, steadfast, and law-abiding amid what he described as growing political persecution. This statement came in response to an attempted arrest of Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, by operatives believed to be from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB). Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of due process and the rule of law, calling on President Mahama to prevent the politicization of state institutions.

Additionally, in February 2025, Dr. Bawumia delivered a keynote address at Harvard University’s 27th Annual Africa Business Conference. He highlighted the significance of digitalization in transforming African economies and urged policymakers to embrace technology with a proactive mindset. Drawing from Ghana’s experience, he discussed the country’s journey towards building a formal, data-driven economy to compete in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. ​

These events underscore the dynamic political landscape in Ghana, with leaders addressing both domestic political concerns and broader developmental goals.
