Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to back his bid for the party’s flagbearership for the 2028 elections based on his competence, integrity, and proven track record.
Speaking in an interview on Spear FM in Damongo during his campaign tour of the Savannah Region, Dr Bawumia called on delegates to prioritise leadership qualities and vision over regional considerations.
“I’m asking for the support of our NPP delegates. I’m campaigning, that’s why I’m in the region. I’m asking for their support on January 31st, that they should vote for me, not because I’m from the north; we don’t vote on that,” he said.
He highlighted his experience as Vice President, describing it as a foundation for effective leadership as President.
“Under Akufo-Addo, I’ve been adjudged by many people to be the most effective Vice President in the history of this country, a big acknowledgement of the track record of what I have done. And I want the delegates to help me be one of the most effective Presidents in the history of the country,” he added.
Dr Bawumia further assured delegates of his commitment to delivering victory for the NPP in 2028.
“I believe that this party, the NPP, under my leadership, will come back to power after the 2028 election. We are going to work hard for the party and the people of Ghana. I want them to trust me, and I will deliver victory in 2028, by the grace of God,” he stated.
