Former Vice President and 2028 Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife, Samira Bawumia, have been evacuated from Qatar to another country.

The relocation follows direct instructions issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, acting on behalf of the government.

The Ministry directed Ghanaian embassies in the region to take immediate steps to ensure their safety and coordinate secure travel arrangements.

Diplomatic sources indicate that the embassies worked closely with host authorities to facilitate the swift and discreet movement of the former Vice President, his wife and their team to a safer destination.

Specific operational details have not been disclosed due to security considerations, but officials describe the process as smooth and well-coordinated.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government of Ghana are working around the clock to safeguard all Ghanaians residing in or travelling through affected areas in the Middle East.

Authorities say monitoring efforts remain ongoing, with embassies on standby to provide consular support and emergency assistance where necessary.
