‘I’m the most prepared candidate for NPP and for President in 2028’ – Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia

Former Vice President and 2024 NPP Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has presented a compelling argument to NPP members to retain him as the party’s Presidential Candidate for the 2028 election, given his exceptional preparedness.

Addressing thousands of NPP supporters after submitting his nomination forms at the NPP headquarters in Accra, Dr. Bawumia, who has served as the NPP’s running mate on four occasions and Vice President for two terms, stated that his extensive experience makes him the most suitable candidate for the NPP, thereby putting himself forward for retention as Flagbearer by party members.

“I am offering myself for election as flagbearer because I believe I have a duty to provide this party with a choice to put forward the most prepared candidate for the 2028 election and the most prepared person to assume the presidency in January 2029,” Dr. Bawumia said.

Over the past 16 years, I have had the privilege of visiting each constituency at least five times to work diligently on the ground, campaign, and work for the NPP. Like the thousands of you who may not have had unlimited financial resources to contribute to the party, I have dedicated my sweat, reputation, knowledge, and person to working with you for the success of this party. Consequently, there is no village, hamlet, city, or town where Mahamudu Bawumia’s face and name are not recognized.

Dr. Bawumia added that with the experience he brings on board, coupled with his first attempt in 2024, the party ought not to start afresh but build upon what it has already built to cross the mark in 2028.

“I owe this party a duty, that if we are to win 2028, we ought not to start afresh from zero. Instead we ought to build on the nearly 42% of valid votes and work to cross the 50% mark in the next election.” Dr. Bawumia emphasized that, in addition, he has, as Vice President, contributed to the erstwhile government, through a number of initiatives he championed, which are impacting the nation positively.

“I’ve also had the privilege of serving as Vice President and supporting the President and Government in our last administration with ideas that have significantly impacted the lives of Millions of our people,” Dr. Bawumia said, as he listed of a number initiatives he led as Vice President.
