Ghana, he added, must adopt a similar mindset.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice President-turned-presidential hopeful emphasised that meaningful progress comes from vision and the willingness to chart new paths. He encouraged young people to take ownership of the country\u2019s future by developing solutions that respond to Ghana\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Bawumia has been campaigning on a message centred on digital transformation, economic reform, and youth empowerment as the New Patriotic Party prepares to elect its flagbearer. <\/p>\n<p>He maintained that shifting national attitudes toward innovation could position Ghana for long-term growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we embrace creative thinking, we will find that the biggest resource we have is the ideas in our minds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Bawumia continues his tour across the regions as he seeks to convince delegates and the public of his vision for Ghana\u2019s next phase of development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div
