Over 490 youth organisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have collected nomination forms for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of the party’s January 2026 presidential primary.
The coalition, made up of substantive and deputy youth leaders from constituencies nationwide, picked up the forms at the NPP headquarters on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, and presented them to Dr. Bawumia at his campaign office, pledging their unwavering support.
Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude for what he described as a remarkable show of trust. “The youth organisers of our party across the length and breadth of our party, 490 out of 552, came to me. The leadership requested that they wanted to put their widows’ mite together and pick my nomination forms for me. I agreed because that was a remarkable vote of confidence in me,” he said.
“This morning, they have fulfilled that promise they made and have picked the form from the party’s head office and delivered it to me. The youth are a major asset of our party and the nation. They represent the future. I want to thank them for this major vote of confidence,” he added.
Dr. Bawumia cautioned the team against divisive politics and insults, stressing the importance of unity within the party. “I’m minded to contest the flagbearership of the NPP. I will make a full declaration in that regard when I go to submit the form you have delivered to me,” he said.
He also urged party leaders to maintain decorum during the contest, focusing on substantive policy issues rather than personal attacks.
