Dr. Bawumia stood with the crowd and cheered Afia who performed a mix of Ghanaian songs.

The Vice President also pleasantries with the crowd and expressed optimism that Afua Asantewaa would set a new world record.

He urged all Ghanaians to encourage her in her attempt to break the "Sing-a-thon" record.

"She has showed much passion and determination. It is possible for Afua to break this record", Dr. Bawumia said.
