Akosua Manu, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
Akosua Manu, Special Aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says he is the best candidate to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 general election.
In a social media post on Facebook last Sunday, Akosua Manu, also known as Kozie, said given Dr. Bawumia’s track record, integrity, and resilience in the country’s political landscape, especially within the party, set him apart as the best to lead the party and subsequently recapture political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
“Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been through that sacred furnace, he has been tested by time, by trials, by tongues of critics, and by the weight of leadership, yet, he stands unbroken, unbent, unbought. He is the standard-bearer of purposeful leadership within the NPP and the country at large,” she stated.
Ms. Manu also indicated that Dr. Bawumia’s life and career embodies what she calls ‘Divine Quality Control’ through which time, trials, and truth separate true leaders from others.
The former Deputy Chief Executive of the National Youth Authority (NYA) further said the flagbearer hopeful has consistently demonstrated bold leadership by transforming a number of challenges facing the country into opportunities.
Among some of his track record, she mentioned, include championing Ghana’s digital transformation agenda by modernising systems across public institutions as well as enhancing transparency and efficiency in governance, while urging delegates of the NPP to reflect deeply as they prepare to select a flagbearer on January 31, 2026.
“When others sought power for pride, he sought it for purpose. When others spoke to be heard, he spoke to be understood. When others complained about Ghana’s challenges, he devised solutions,” she disclosed.
“The 2028 mission will not be about who shouts the loudest, it will be about who has been prepared, refined, and approved by both time and truth. That man is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a man of intellect, humility, faith, and focus,” Ms. Manu stressed.
Ms. Manu’s post comes amid heightened political activity within the NPP, as several aspirants intensify campaigns for the party’s flagbearer position, adding to the growing momentum around Dr. Bawumia’s leadership narrative as a tested and trusted choice for the next electoral cycle.
“The destiny of Ghana deserves nothing less than a leader who has been tested, proven, and prepared to deliver. I will call on members of the party as well as all Ghanaians to recognise the significance of the moment and support a leader who embodies discipline, depth, and dedication to national service,” she added.
