A lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University, Dr Sampson Anomah, has urged the delegates of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to elect former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the party's presidential candidate for 2028.
Speaking on Wontumi TV, Dr Anomah said that aside from the former Vice President's proven track record and great vision for the country, he has also been blessed with a beautiful wife, Samira Bawumia.

"Vote for Dr Bawumia because he has a very beautiful wife, and this woman, apart from being beautiful, has brought some element to Ghana that most people have not noticed," he said.
The Kumasi Technical University lecturer further stated that, besides the former Second Lady's alluring beauty, she also has a certain charisma that is endearing to many people, making her a good role model to the youth, especially young Ghanaian women.
"The charisma with which she supports her husband, I tell you, that apart from her beauty, she is also a role model. She will be a role model to the young ladies in Ghana. If we reject this man [Bawumia], we will lose that element in his wife."
Dr Anomah also expressed his profound admiration for the wife of the former Vice President, adding that he believes many Ghanaians have equally taken note of the qualities he has identified in her.
Dr Bawumia vies for NPP flagbearer position
Dr Bawumia is vying to lead the NPP as flagbearer for the second time after suffering the most humiliating defeat in the history of Ghana's presidential elections, losing to President Mahama by over 1.5 million votes.
The flagbearer race, scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, will be contested by five aspirants, including the former Vice President.
The aspirants are Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
