Former NPP Flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
Despite the New Patriotic Party (NPP) falling short in the 2024 general elections, its flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, appears to be gaining even more ground — this time within his own party.
Fresh figures from an April 2025 Global InfoAnalytics poll show that support for Bawumia among NPP members has climbed from 48% to 57%, reflecting a significant boost in confidence in his leadership.
The findings come just months after the party’s electoral defeat and suggest that Bawumia’s post-election conduct is resonating positively with the party base.
Analysts believe the former Vice President’s ability to remain composed after the election loss — coupled with his continued grassroots engagement and policy-focused campaign messaging — may be contributing factors.
His calm and calculated presence seems to have struck the right chord with party loyalists, who are now looking ahead to the NPP’s future.
“This isn’t just about popularity — it’s about trust and leadership direction,” one political observer noted. “The party sees him as someone who can steady the ship and possibly reposition the NPP for the next big battle.”
Bawumia’s rising influence may hold major implications for the NPP as internal discussions on leadership renewal and strategic direction begin to take shape.
Insiders say the momentum he’s building could position him as a key voice — if not the central figure — in conversations about the party’s path forward.
For a party in reflection mode, this renewed faith in Bawumia could shape not only its internal dynamics but also its public image in the years leading up to the next electoral cycle.
