The Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, has praised NPP flagbearer hopeful Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for what he describes as a sincere and consistent personality in politics.

According to him, Dr. Bawumia remains the same in both private and public settings, unlike individuals who adopt a friendlier posture only when seeking political office.

Awuku explained that his long working relationship with Dr. Bawumia has given him firsthand insight into his character, which he believes has remained unchanged over the years.

“There are people who suddenly become friendly when they need positions,” he said. “But Dr. Bawumia has never acted that way. His approach to people is natural, and he doesn’t pretend for political gain.”

He also touched on recent internal party debates, arguing that if a long-serving Vice President can be labelled a “stranger,” then figures with minimal political exposure would face even greater criticism.

Awuku’s comments came when Dr. Bawumia toured the Akuapem North constituency on Friday, November 28 as part of his engagements in the Eastern Region.
