Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia
The Member of Parliament for Damongo Constituency, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has declared his firm and unflinching support for former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) best candidate ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 2026.
Speaking ahead of a campaign engagement in the Savannah Region, Mr. Jinapor affirmed that Dr. Bawumia remains the best option to lead the NPP into the 2028 General Election.
“Dr. Bawumia can unite our base, appeal to the floating voters, and inspire hope across the country. He is not just a candidate for the primaries, he is our pathway to victory in 2028,” he stressed.
Mr. Jinapor highlighted what he described as Dr. Bawumia’s clean reputation and strong track record.
“He is well marketed, he is formidable, and he is credible,” he noted, adding that the former Vice President is “somebody you cannot associate with anything of corruption or incompetence.”
The former Lands Minister argued that Dr. Bawumia’s visibility and performance in the 2024 national elections have made him an already recognisable figure to the Ghanaian electorate, positioning him as a candidate with broad national appeal.
“I believe if we present him again for 2028 and we rally behind him, he has a strong chance of winning the 2028 election,” Mr. Jinapor said.
He added that the party’s grassroots are ready to support Dr. Bawumia’s renewed bid for the flagbearer slot.
“I am convinced the party will support him on January 31, and I am convinced the party will elect him because the party wants to win,” he declared.
Dr. Bawumia, known for spearheading the Akufo-Addo-led government’s digitalisation agenda, is seeking to return as the NPP’s presidential candidate. His campaign has gained momentum as influential figures within the party continue to publicly rally behind him.
Mr. Jinapor’s endorsement reflects growing confidence within the party that Dr. Bawumia is the candidate most capable of uniting the NPP and securing a decisive win in the next national polls.
