• Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the immediate past Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, has donated GH¢100,000 to an NPP polling agent
• The polling agent was reportedly involved in a terrible accident while campaigning for the former Vice President
• Many Ghanaians who came across the video took to the comment section to commend Dr Bawumia

Former Vice President Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia has assisted a dedicated New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling agent, Bernard Mensah, who was involved in a devastating accident that caused him to lose his forearm.

The accident occurred while Bernard was fixing streetlight bulbs on electric poles during the 2024 election, in support of Dr Bawumia's presidential campaign.

Unfortunately, Bernard suffered a severe injury and had to have his forearm amputated.

When Dr Bawumia learned of Bernard's unfortunate incident, he reached out to support him.

Consequently, the former Vice President donated a staggering GH¢100,000 to support Bernard's recovery.
