The Member of Parliament for Karaga, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, has urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to approach the party’s upcoming presidential primary with foresight, stressing that leadership choices must be driven by long-term vision rather than short-term considerations.
Speaking ahead of the January 31 presidential primary, Dr Amin Adam described former Vice President Dr Mahammudu Bawumia as a forward-thinking leader whose ideas align with the evolving global economic landscape. He argued that the future of national development is inseparable from the digital economy and warned against dismissing its relevance.
In an interview with Joy News on Wednesday, January 7, the former Finance Minister emphasised that digitalisation is no longer optional but a central pillar of modern economic management. According to him, separating digital initiatives from the broader economic structure reflects a lack of understanding of how contemporary economies function.
Dr Amin Adam pointed to tangible outcomes of Ghana’s digital transformation, noting that services such as remote NHIS card renewal and at-home electricity purchases are practical examples of how digital systems have improved efficiency and access for citizens. He attributed these developments to the digital economy framework introduced under Dr Bawumia’s leadership.
He further noted that digitalisation has become a defining feature of successful economies worldwide and will remain a critical driver of growth in the years ahead, making visionary leadership essential.
“Everybody must understand that elections in Ghana are about vision. If you have a visionary leader like Dr Bawumia, it doesn’t matter; anyone who understands this will vote for him. The NPP delegates should choose wisely,” Dr Amin Adam said.
