Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia urges NPP unity to secure 2028 parliamentary majority

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer for the 2028 elections, has called on party members to prioritize unity as they prepare for the next general election cycle. Speaking during his thank-you tour in the Bono East Region, the former Vice President emphasized that internal cohesion is the foundation upon which the party’s future electoral success will be built. He expressed confidence that the party has successfully navigated its internal executive elections and is now positioned to move forward as a unified force, urging supporters to set aside differences and focus on the common goal of winning the next national polls. Addressing party faithful in Kintampo, Dr. Bawumia stressed that securing a significant parliamentary majority is essential for the effective governance of the country. He argued that a strong presence in the legislature would empower a future NPP administration to implement its socio-economic agenda and drive national development more efficiently. He urged grassroots organizers and polling station executives to intensify their efforts on the ground, noting that the strength of the party lies in its local structures and their ability to mobilize voters effectively in every constituency. During the visit, Dr. Bawumia also engaged with the local Muslim community in Kintampo, where he made a personal donation of GH₵30,000 to support their community activities and welfare. He used the occasion to call for their prayers and continued support for the party, highlighting the important role that religious and community leaders play in fostering national peace and stability. This gesture was seen as a reinforcement of his longstanding commitment to inclusive engagement with various religious and social groups across Ghana. The tour follows the NPP's recent internal processes to elect new executives across various levels of the party structure. Dr. Bawumia praised the smooth conduct of these elections and described the resolution of internal wranglings as a sign of political maturity. By focusing on reconciliation and the consolidation of support in key regions like Bono East, the flagbearer aims to build a robust and disciplined campaign machine well ahead of the 2028 polls, ensuring that the NPP remains a formidable contender in the national political landscape.
