Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has reaffirmed his determination to recapture power for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 general elections, pledging to lead Ghana’s development agenda if elected.
Writing on his Facebook page after beginning a two-day engagement in the Eastern Region on Wednesday, September 24, Dr Bawumia said his interactions with past and present constituency officers and former senior NPP government officials reinforced his commitment to the party’s comeback.
“I underscored my resolve to reclaim power for the NPP in the 2028 election and steer Ghana towards development,” he stated.
Meanwhile, 15 of the 23 NPP Members of Parliament from the Eastern Region have declared their support for Dr Bawumia’s bid to lead the party into the 2028 elections.

They argued that replacing him in the January 2026 flagbearer contest would roll back the NPP’s progress by 16 years.
“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 that more Ghanaians are warming up to his ideas. Changing him will be setting ourselves back by another 16 years,” the MPs said in a statement.
They praised Dr Bawumia’s humility, inclusiveness, and effectiveness, describing him as the kind of leader who can unite the nation.
“He is humble, effective, and embracing of all persons. We need a leader who unites and not one who divides,” they added, pledging to campaign vigorously for him across the region.
