Bawumia also reiterated his commitment to engaging in an issues-based campaign.
He noted that his campaign message would address Ghanaians' concerns and propose solutions to their problems.
He vowed to eschew a campaign of insults and personal attacks against his rivals and propagate unifying, not divisive, language.

He said his profession as an economist makes him the best choice for Ghana, as he can use his cutting-edge skills and perspective to provide pragmatic solutions to the nation's problems.
He said that if given the mandate, he would employ innovative solutions to drive Ghana forward and improve Ghanaians' living conditions.
