Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has directed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to begin its preparations for the 2028 general election immediately. He made this statement after the party's national delegates conference, which marked the completion of its internal rebuilding and restructuring process. According to Dr. Bawumia, the NPP has now elected its national executives and must shift its focus to winning back political power.
Dr. Bawumia stressed the urgency of the task and called on the new leadership to begin work immediately. He emphasized that "there is no time to waste" and that the party should meet and begin the process of getting to the 2028 election by the following week. He also called for unity within the party, particularly after the competition among candidates for various national positions.
Dr. Bawumia assured party members who contested and lost that they would be part of the campaign for the 2028 election. He urged everyone to be involved, stating that there is enough work for everybody. According to him, the NPP's prospects in 2028 would depend heavily on its ability to remain united, adding that "unity in this party will give us victory."
Dr. Bawumia called on all factions to put the internal contest behind them and work together towards the next election. He stated that "elections are over" and that all camps should dissolve to form one NPP to win the 2028 election. However, he cautioned that the 2028 election would not be easy and that the party would have to work hard to take power.
Dr. Bawumia urged the party to work even harder than it did during previous successful election campaigns. He mentioned that they would have to work harder than they did in 2000 and 2016. He ended by calling on the party to immediately begin developing its campaign strategies, stating that they should meet and put their strategies together to capture power in 2028.
The NPP has recently elected its national executives, and John Boadu has begun rebuilding the party from the grassroots ahead of the 2028 election. The party is seeking to win back political power, and Dr. Bawumia's directive is seen as a move to unite the party and prepare it for the upcoming election.
The 2028 general election is expected to be a crucial one for Ghana, and the NPP is seeking to emerge victorious. With Dr. Bawumia's leadership and the party's renewed focus on unity and hard work, the NPP is hoping to put up a strong fight and win the election.
