Sixty-three Members of Parliament (MPs) from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have formally declared their support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the party’s upcoming presidential primaries.
At a press conference in Accra on Thursday, October 23, the MPs described Dr. Bawumia as “tried, tested, and trusted”, the most experienced and visionary leader to lead the NPP into the 2028 general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Mampong MP Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong said the endorsement was a united declaration of faith in Dr. Bawumia’s leadership qualities and proven record of service.
“Today, over 60 Members of Parliament, 63 precisely, stand together in unity and conviction to make this clarion call. We declare our total and unwavering support for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next flagbearer of our great party,” Mr. Ampratwum-Sarpong stated.
He added that the decision was based on confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s track record, discipline, and readiness to serve.
“We have seen his work, his discipline, resilience, and readiness to serve. We believe Dr. Bawumia embodies the next chapter of the NPP, one built on competence, innovation, unity, and hope,” he said.
The MPs noted that Dr. Bawumia represents a renewal of leadership for the party and the nation, citing his instrumental role in Ghana’s digital transformation and economic management during his tenure as Vice President.
Prominent among the 63 MPs are Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Samuel Abu Jinapor, Mustapha Ussif, Dominic Nitiwul, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and Habib Iddrisu, among others.
The group pledged to mobilize delegates across constituencies to ensure a decisive victory for Dr. Bawumia, whom they described as the “unity candidate” capable of leading the NPP to retain power in 2028.
