Former Vice President Calls on NPP Supporters to Unite Behind His 2028 Presidential Ambition
Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced his intention to contest Ghana’s 2028 presidential election, expressing his desire to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the next general election.
According to the statement, Dr. Bawumia made his position known during a meeting with members of the NPP Loyal Ladies at his residence, where he called on party supporters to rally behind his bid.
Bawumia Seeks Another Opportunity
The announcement comes after Bawumia’s presidential campaign in the 2024 general election, in which he represented the NPP.
Addressing the gathering, the former Vice President reportedly urged members of the party to remain united and focused as preparations begin for the next presidential contest.
Appeal for NPP Unity
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of unity and consistency within the NPP as the party looks ahead to the 2028 elections.
He reportedly pointed to previous political victories involving former President John Agyekum Kufuor and President John Dramani Mahama, citing their experiences across multiple elections as examples of the importance of political persistence.
Bawumia and the NPP’s 2028 Strategy
The development is expected to intensify discussions within the NPP over its future leadership and strategy ahead of the 2028 general election.
Bawumia’s reported decision to pursue another presidential opportunity is likely to attract significant attention from party delegates, grassroots supporters and political observers as the NPP prepares for its next electoral contest.
The former Vice President will now be seeking to consolidate support within the party and build on his previous presidential campaign as the political landscape ahead of 2028 begins to take shape.
