A group of Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Eastern Region have declared their support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in his quest to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 general elections.
The MPs, numbering fifteen, argued that Ghanaians are increasingly rallying around Dr. Bawumia’s policy ideas, many of which they believe have been vindicated since the 2024 elections.
“After all the propaganda hurled against the NPP in the 2024 elections, it is becoming clear day by day that Bawumia was right in many of the things he proposed. Now is the time when more Ghanaians are warming up to his ideas. Changing him will be setting ourselves back by another 16 years,” they stated at a press conference in Nkawkaw on Wednesday.
Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, MP for Achiase, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, described the former Vice President as the most credible candidate to secure victory for the NPP.
“Having been well marketed and having served as Ghana’s most impactful Vice President, he is the best option politically and policy-wise to win us the election. He is humble, effective, and embracing of all persons. We need a leader who unites and not one who divides,” Marfo said.
The MPs backing Dr. Bawumia include Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo (Achiase), Michael Okyere Baafi (New Juaben South), Akwasi Acquah (Oda), Charles Owuredu (Abirem), Sammi Awuku (Akuapem North), Kwame Appiah Kodua (Fanteakwa North), Kingsley Agyemang (Abuakwa South), Nana Kwame Ampaw “Buffalo” (Abuakwa North), Ida Adwoa Asiedu (Ayensuano), Frank Annor Dompreh (Nsawam), Kojo Oppong Nkrumah (Ofoase Ayirebi), Frank Asiedu Bekoe (Suhum), Alexander Agyare (Kade), Henrietta Korkor Asante (Atiwa West), and Duke Ofori Atta (Fanteakwa South).
