The Minister for Works and Housing, , has said the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama, cannot be compared with the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, , in terms of their records as vice presidents of Ghana.  According to him, Dr. Bawumia is miles ahead of John Mahama, as the latter cannot be credited with any policy proposal he put forward as vice president to move the country forward. Speaking on GHOne TV on Monday, August 19, 2024, monitored by GhanaWeb, Oppong Nkrumah, who is the Vice Chairman of the NPP Manifesto Committee, said Ghanaians will struggle to name just one policy intervention introduced by John Mahama as Veep.  He argued that it will be wrong for anyone to compare Mahama with Bawumia because the latter has a superior record of achievement while serving as Veep.  "Forget the two parties; focus on the two candidates. Both of them have stood on the same scale. Never mind the presidency; take the vice presidential slot.
