The Dombo family has reaffirmed its unwavering support for former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of the 2025 presidential election, describing him as a visionary leader whose integrity and resilience continue to inspire Ghanaians.
In a statement dated October 31, 2025, and jointly signed by Tracy Rabiatu Dombo and Alexandra Dombo Tenadu, the family stressed that their endorsement of Dr Bawumia is based on merit, principle, and belief in his leadership, not tribal loyalty.
According to the statement, Dr Bawumia’s composure and clarity amid political and social challenges exemplify the qualities of a true leader committed to Ghana’s progress.

“The level of composure and mental resilience Dr Mahamudu Bawumia continues to show, especially in the face of challenges, is nothing short of remarkable. His calm, clarity, and grace under pressure are the markings of a true leader,” the statement said.
The Dombos dismissed claims that a northerner cannot lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP), calling such assertions divisive and contrary to the founding ideals of the Busia–Dombo political tradition, which is rooted in inclusion and merit.
“It’s not about tribal allegiance or sentimental loyalty; it’s about logic and what makes sense. To suggest that a northerner cannot and should not lead the New Patriotic Party is shortsighted and hypocritical,” the statement indicated.
The family expressed confidence in Dr Bawumia’s development agenda, noting that his vision focuses on long-term national transformation, innovation, and shared prosperity.
“Dr Bawumia’s plans are not about today’s applause but tomorrow’s inheritance. His ideas are built to shape a Ghana defined by innovation, dignity, and shared prosperity,” they stated.

The statement concluded with a call for unity and reflection, encouraging party members and Ghanaians to support leaders who embody the NPP’s founding values and the spirit of service to the nation.
