Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has described the military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives as a national tragedy that transcends political boundaries.

Speaking on Friday, August 8, 2025, the second day of Ghana's three-day national mourning, Dr Bawumia, while addressing the media at Jubilee House, said the grief is shared by the entire nation, not just one political party. "I think the grief comes to all Ghanaians.

This is not just me.

It is not the NDC, it is all of us," he said.
