Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia with Napo and party supporters
FORMER VICE President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called for peace and unity in the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, the NPP’s desire of winning power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2028 will materialise when the party members unite and work together.
Dr. Bawumia, who is campaigning to be elected the NPP Presidential Candidate for the 2028 elections, said, “It’s important that we unite as one family with a common purpose behind the elephant as we work collectively to rebuild, reposition, and secure victory for the NPP in 2028.”
Dr. Bawumia, who is campaigning for votes in the Ashanti Region ahead of the NPP presidential polls, made stops at Ejura, Mampong, and Boamang.
He was accompanied by the NPP running mate for the 2024 polls, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka ‘Napo’, the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka ‘Wontumi and others.
Dr. Bawumia reminded the NPP delegates that they are one family, therefore, there is no need for them to fight among themselves, especially as they are working to regain political power.
According to him, “in unity is strength”, stressing the strongest need for the NPP members and supporters to shun backbiting, internal strife, insults, and insinuations and stay united.
Dr. Bawumia, sounding confident, stated emphatically that he has the experience to lead the NPP to win the next presidential election, urging the delegates to vote for him.
“I’m the most prepared and suitable person among the candidates to lead the party at this critical moment so I’m urging you to vote massively for me”, Dr. Bawumia told the NPP delegates.
According to the former Vice President, he would lead a united party when elected as the NPP presidential candidate on January 31, 2026, stating that the NPP will surely win the next general election.
Napo, on his part, appealed passionately to the NPP delegates in the 16 regions to vote massively for his boss, Dr. Bawumia, since he is the best to lead the party back to power.
