Former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has expressed confidence in winning the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries, insisting that if the contest were held today, he would emerge victorious.
Speaking on Accra-based GHOne TV, the Bosomtwe Member of Parliament (MP) attributed his optimism to faith, growing grassroots support, and his track record in public service and party work.
“I feel I’d win the NPP primaries if it were held today,” he said, adding, “I believe in divine providence and I have faith in the people.”
Dr. Adutwum noted that the NPP is at a defining moment and must select a leader who can both transform the country and maintain party unity.
“We are looking for a leader who will change this country first and foremost, and we are also looking for a leader who will be able to unify the party,” he stated.
He said his approach to politics sets him apart from other contenders, highlighting that he avoids internal conflicts and personal attacks.
“I believe that I’m the one that can bring that unity because I am not a source of any acrimony,” he noted. “I am not saying anything bad against anybody. I am just selling myself to them.”
Dr. Adutwum explained that his interactions with delegates focus on his vision, experience, and performance rather than negative campaigning.
“When I go before the delegates, it’s all about Yaw Adutwum, getting them to understand who I am, where I am coming from, what I have done and what I will do when they give me the opportunity,” he said.
He added that his message to party members is built on unity, continuity, and credible leadership as the NPP prepares for its upcoming presidential primaries.
