Former Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged party folks to ensure there is unity in the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He holds the view that with unity, the party can wrestle power in the 2028 elections.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia made this call when he engaged with party folks in the Central Region, where he is for a two-day campaign tour.
In a social media post after his activities for day one, he said, “I commenced a two-day engagement tour in the Central region as a flagbearer aspirant, during which I met with current and former executives, as well as past government appointees of our great party.
I was impressed by the support I received today and informed the party members that, with a united purpose and shared vision, we will regain power in 2029, God willing”.
This will be the third region the former Vice President has campaigned since he began his engagement ahead of the 2026 presidential primaries of the New Patriotic Party.
Meanwhile, a new poll conducted by Global InfoAnalytics has placed former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia well ahead of his contenders in the race for leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The survey shows Dr. Bawumia commanding 57.4% of voter support, giving him a strong lead as the party heads toward its next internal elections.
His closest rival, Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, trails with 29.3%, maintaining a significant but distant second place.
The remaining contenders are far behind in single digits. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Education Minister, secured 6.0%, followed by Dr. Bryan Acheampong with 4.6%, and Kwabena Agyapong with 3.3%.
The figures underscore Bawumia’s entrenched position within the party’s base and hint at a consolidating support structure ahead of the NPP’s leadership primaries.
Kennedy Agyapong, however, continues to maintain a notable following, positioning himself as the main challenger in what is shaping up to be a two-horse race.
Political analysts say the poll results reflect Bawumia’s continued dominance after serving as Vice President for nearly a decade, as well as his influence among delegates and grassroots members.
Meanwhile, Agyapong’s numbers indicate that his outspoken style and appeal to a segment of the party faithful remain strong, even if the gap appears wide.
