Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a leading flag-bearer aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and former Vice-President of the Republic of Ghana, has once again extended a generous financial lifeline.
He has donated an amount of GH₵60,000 to Mr. Bernard Mensah, an NPP Polling Station Officer, to cover the cost of a crucial surgery on his hand.
Incident and Previous Assistance:

This recent donation follows a series of substantial gestures of support from the former Vice-President.
Dr. Bawumia had previously settled Mr. Mensah’s initial hospital bills, amounting to GH₵100,000.
