Political scientist Dr Joshua Zaato has described Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the most experienced, credible and marketable politician in Ghana today aside President Mahama.

Speaking on TV3's KeyPoints on June 21,2025, Dr Zaato praised Dr Bawumia for his long-standing service in government, personal integrity, and ability to evolve within Ghana's political space without scandal. "Take Mahama out of the picture, and there's no Ghanaian politician more intelligent, humbler, and more experienced than Bawumia.

He's been in government for nearly two decades without a single proven corruption case against him", he stated.

According to Dr Zaato, the Vice President's technocratic background and leadership in key policy areas such as digitalisation and the Ghana Card project distinguish him from other politicians.
