Bawumia has been engaging with a cross-section of Ghanaian society in his campaigns, ranging from traditional leaders to ordinary workers.

The aide said this process has so far been reassuring to those involved, the aide said.

“Once the vice president gets there and he meets the people from the traditional leaders from the clergy to the youth, the euphoria and excitement is top notch,” Tonto said.

Tonto believes that the enthusiasm they have encountered reflects the work Bawumia has done over 16 years in politics.

He further described Bawumia as Ghana's most impactful Vice President ever.

“It tells you that he is a very hardworking vice president and that is why some people have been the most effective vice president because you have to be an effective vice president to be known in a village in Sewhi Wiaso.”
