The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured candidates who lost in the party's just-ended national delegates' conference that they will have important roles to play in the party's campaign ahead of the 2028 general elections. Dr. Bawumia made this statement at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026. He emphasized that no member of the party would be left behind as the NPP begins preparations for the next general election.
Dr. Bawumia called for unity and collective effort among party members as the NPP seeks to return to power in 2028. He acknowledged that winning the 2028 election would require a united and determined party, stressing that the NPP could not afford to underestimate the task ahead. According to Dr. Bawumia, "You will be part of the campaign in 2028; there is work for everybody, and we are going to involve everybody."
The newly elected National Chairman of the NPP, John Boadu, has pledged to lead efforts to build a renewed party ahead of the next general elections. Speaking on behalf of the newly elected national executives at the delegates' conference, Mr. Boadu said the new leadership would serve the party with humility and work closely with members across all levels. He emphasized that the new executives would seek greater collaboration with the party's grassroots structures and other stakeholders.
The delegates' conference, held in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, saw the election of new national executives to oversee the affairs of the party. Daniel Titus Glover was elected as the National Organiser, while former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Mavis Hawa Koomson, was elected as the National Women's Organiser.
