The atmosphere in Sene East was electric on Wednesday as former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia officially kicked off his campaign to be re-elected as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Flagbearer, with delegates hailing his message as a galvanizing force for the party’s long-term ambitions.
Choosing to begin his nationwide tour in the Bono East region, Dr. Bawumia was met with a rousing reception from polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, and party faithful. His message, focused on unity, grassroots empowerment, and a clear-eyed vision for victory in the 2028 general elections, was described by attendees as precisely the inspiration needed to energize the party’s base.
In an engaging session with the delegates, Dr. Bawumia underscored his commitment to a campaign built on respect and substantive issues, echoing his national call for civil discourse. He emphasized that the hard work for securing a third consecutive term for the NPP must begin immediately, starting with a united and motivated grassroots.
The response from the delegates was overwhelmingly positive, with many stating that the Vice President’s visit had reinvigorated their spirit for the tasks ahead.
“Today was not just a campaign launch; it was a revival,” said Kwame Agyekum, a Polling Station Executive from Kwame Danso. “Dr. Bawumia’s message was inspiring and uplifting. He didn’t just ask for our votes; he presented a clear path to victory that involves all of us. For the first time since the 2024 elections, I feel genuinely motivated to start working hard right now for 2028.”
Another delegate, Hajia Fuseina, shared similar sentiments. “He has started from the grassroots because he knows we are the backbone of the party. His message has lit a fire in us. We are leaving here not just as supporters, but as soldiers ready to campaign with a new energy. We are motivated to go back to our polling stations and begin the work to break the eight-year cycle and secure victory in 2028.”
The successful take off in Sene East sets a confident tone for Dr. Bawumia’s ambitious tour of all 276 constituencies. The palpable excitement and renewed sense of purpose among the delegates suggest that his grassroots-focused strategy is already yielding its first dividends, signaling a campaign ready to build its momentum from the party’s foundation upwards.
