Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
One of the most unpleasant tasks for any professional, let alone a politician, is to face the media, expecting barrage of questions from both friendly and hostile journalists.
And if you are a political leader from an incumbent party, dealing with the excruciating impact of global factors on your local economy, then the risk is even higher, especially with a major election in sight.
In such a media engagement, a slip could be catastrophic, while a sterler display, surely, will catapult one's campaign to an unimaginable height.
This was the dilemma Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), found himself in, when he faced the Ghanaian media, in a much anticipated media interactions last night.
