The information gathered suggests that over Sixty New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament have endorsed the former vice president and 2024 presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to reports, some of the MPs paid a courtesy call to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to pledge their support.
The MPs revealed that over sixty out of the NPP’s Eighty-eight MPs have endorsed the former vice president.
The main front runners for the NPP’s flagbearer position are Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Minister for Agriculture Bryan Acheampong, and former Minister for Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) revealed that the party will hold its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
Meanwhile, Justin Frimpong Kodua, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected claims the party’s presidential primaries are skewed to favour the former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Some NPP supporters and bigwigs have raised concerns surrounding the NPP’s presidential primaries.
According to Justin Kodua, he will be very surprised for anyone to think that the election which is yet to be conducted favours a particular candidate.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV Justin Kodua detailed, “I will be very surprised for anyone to think that an election that is yet to be conducted will favour a particular candidate.”
“If you have monitored our electoral history even from 1992, 1996 to 2000, at every election — from national through to polling stations — about 70%, sometimes even 80%, of current executives retain their positions,” he explained.
He added, “The fact that you may even start from polling station to national or national to polling station does not make it skewed towards a particular person. There are current executives who will still continue to be executives”.
