The Member of Parliament for Kumawu, Ernest Yaw Anim, has made a strong case for the retention of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer for the 2028 elections.
Speaking at Effiduase in the Ashanti Region on Thursday, Anim argued that the NPP’s defeat in 2024 was due to internal challenges and not the choice of candidate.
He stressed that Dr. Bawumia remains the most marketed and prepared candidate the party can put forward at this time, adding that everyone deserves a second chance to build on past gains.
“Each of us bears some responsibility for our loss in 2024 — from how we relate to each other to the policies of our government. However, this is not the time to lament or apportion blame. This is the time to preach unity, come together and put our best foot forward to secure victory,” he stated.
The Kumawu MP further highlighted Dr. Bawumia’s resilience and capacity for introspection, insisting that he is best placed to lead the NPP to victory in 2028.
“We don’t know who the other party will bring. But we have a tried, tested, and battle-hardened candidate who represented us in the last election. We have someone we have marketed across the length and breadth of Ghana. Every village and household in Ghana has heard of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“We have five men in our flagbearer contest, but I am convinced the one who can take us to the 2028 finish line is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He is our best bet for victory, and I proudly support him,” Anim declared.
