New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says his entry into politics is driven by a desire to serve and transform lives, not to amass wealth.
Speaking during his campaign tour of Amenfi West, Dr Bawumia said his greatest satisfaction in politics comes from improving lives through innovative policies rather than pursuing personal gain.
He therefore urged party delegates to support his 2028 leadership bid.
“I am in politics to change lives, not chase wealth. I am not in politics because of money,” he stated.
Dr Bawumia highlighted his record of integrity and prudent resource management during his tenure as Vice President, citing the Mobile Money Interoperability project, which he said was completed at a cost of $4.5 million, compared to the $1.2 billion initially proposed under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

According to him, the initiative helped Ghana save over $1.1 billion, underscoring his commitment to efficient governance and value for money.
“If I were in politics for money, I would have taken advantage of that. All this money saved would have been debt on our heads to pay so I am not in politics to gain, but to transform lives — as I am already doing,” he reiterated.
