The flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 election, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has noted that it is only unity that will help rebuild the political party after its heavy defeat in 2024.
He says he has been counselled by former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufour who has been a bedrock after the electoral defeat.
Engaging the Minority in Parliament on April 2, 2025, he said, “Sometimes, I hear people ask ‘where do we start from’. The words of Prez Kufour always ring in my mind.
He told me after the defeat that in 1996, when he had 39%, he too wondered where to start from. But with unity behind him and hard work in just 4 years, we crossed 50%. In the last election, we got 41%”.
He used the opportunity to thank the Legislators for their work done so far indicating that everyone is proud of them.
“Many have likened you to the Minority of the 2nd Parliament led by our father, J.H Mensah. The party will be forever grateful to you.
“ I call you The Mighty Minority of 88 Infantry Battalion, commanded by Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin,” he said.
