Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated Ghanaians will realise that NPP would have been best for transforming the country.
According to Dr Bawumia, the people of Ghana will soon realise the NPP were on the right side of the battle.
Reports suggest the minority caucus in Parliament, along with prominent members of the NPP, including former President Nana Addo, Dr Bawumia, and Kennedy Agyapong, gathered at the Rock City Hotel for a meeting to discuss the party’s future and strategize for the 2028 elections.
Dr Bawumia stated, “Obviously, we didn’t win. But I want you to be clear in your mind that over time, everyone will realise that we were on the right side of the battle”.
“The work that we had started and the plans we were about to roll out over time will be proven to be what would have been best for transforming our country”.
“So, I need you to keep your head up and committed to the further work ahead. We lost the battle in 2024, but we won’t lose this war. It will be tough, but I believe with God we shall eventually win,” he indicated.
Dr Bawumia further revealed words former president Kufuor shared with him after the 2024 miserable defeat.
He added, “Sometimes, I hear people ask ‘Where do we start from’. The words of Prez Kufour always ring in my mind. He told me after the defeat that in 1996 when he had 39%, he too wondered where to start from. But with unity behind him and hard work in just 4 years, we crossed 50%. In the last election, we got 41%”.
The former vice president also thanked the NPP minority in parliament, “Many have likened you to the Minority of the 2nd Parliament led by our father, J.H Mensah. The party will be forever grateful to you.
“ I call you The Mighty Minority of 88 Infantry Battalion, commanded by Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo Markin,” he stated.
