Sixty-three Members of Parliament (MPs) of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have officially declared their unwavering support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to become the party’s next flagbearer, describing him as the embodiment of the NPP’s enduring values of vision, unity, and service.
Addressing the media in Parliament yesterday, the lawmakers said their declaration was rooted in conviction rather than sentiment, emphasising Dr. Bawumia’s record of discipline, humility, and delivery.
“From his days as a brilliant economist at the Bank of Ghana to his service as Vice President, Dr. Bawumia has proven that leadership is not about words but work, not about entitlement but excellence and delivery,” the MP for Mampong, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, who serves as the Coordinator of the DMB MPs in Parliament, read the statemen
The MPs lauded Dr. Bawumia’s leadership qualities, citing his role in driving Ghana’s digital transformation, promoting financial inclusion, and modernising public service delivery.
According to them, his work reflects the legacy of the NPP’s founding fathers – Danquah, Busia, and Dombo – whose principles of freedom, democracy, and development through enterprise continue to guide the party.
“He represents the enduring spirit of our Party: visionary, resilient, diligent, and pragmatic. Dr. Bawumia has brought clarity to governance, inspired innovation, and built systems that work,” the group stated.
For the MPs, the Vice President is best positioned to lead the NPP into the 2028 general election and secure the trust of Ghanaians.
“We believe that Dr. Bawumia embodies the next chapter of the NPP’s vision, a future built on competence, innovation, unity, and hope,” the MPs added.
The MPs also appealed to NPP delegates across the country to rally behind Dr. Bawumia, arguing that he represents both continuity and renewal within the party.
“Let us reward loyalty, humility, and hard work with trust. Let us renew the NPP tradition with a leader who has walked the path, carried the burden, and delivered results,” they urged.
They described the former Vice President as the candidate capable of uniting the NPP, winning the confidence of the electorate, and leading Ghana into a new era of progress and opportunity.
“Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is our choice, the people’s choice, the Party’s strength, and Ghana’s future. He carries Danquah’s courage, Busia’s intellect, and Dombo’s humility and unifying heart,” they said.
The MPs called for unity and faith in the Vice President’s leadership, noting, “The torch has been lit and the vision is clear. For God and Country, for Party and Progress, we stand with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
