He advanced this discourse on Thursday August 8, 2024, when he officially opened the Democrat Union of Africa (DUA Forum 2024), held in Accra, under the auspices of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The high-level meeting under the theme, “Strengthening Democratic Institutions for Political stability: crafting Africa’s response,” brought together all-inclusive participants in Africa and beyond.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 Presidential Candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in his key note address remarked, “Ghana’s democratic journey is a testament to the importance of nurturing democratic institutions.

"Our electoral processes are characterised by transparency and credibility, with institutions like the Electoral Commission playing a pivotal role in ensuring free and fair elections. The peaceful transition of power between different political parties over the past three decades is a hallmark of our democracy, demonstrating our commitment to upholding the will of the people.”
