Hot SourceFifteen of the 23 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament in the Eastern Region have declared their support for Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the party gears up to choose its next flagbearer.
The endorsement, announced during Dr Bawumia’s campaign tour of the region, represents a significant boost to his bid to lead the NPP into the 2028 general election.
Those throwing their weight behind the vice-president include Sammi Awuku, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Annor Dompreh, Kofi Ahenekorah Marfo, Charles Asuako Owiredu, Kingsley Agyemang, Alexander Akwasi Acquah, Ida Adjoa Asiedu, Kwame Appiah Kodua, Duke Ofori-Atta, Michael Okyere Baafi, Frank Asiedu Bekoe, Kwame Addo Frempong, Alexander Agyare and Laurette Korkor Asante.
The MPs say Dr Bawumia’s experience in government, his economic management credentials and his ability to connect with grassroots party members make him the best candidate to succeed President John Mahama in 2028.
Dr Bawumia, after being vetted and cleared by the party’s committee, urged his supporters to remain united and focused. He cautioned against internal divisions, saying the path to the flagbearership will require discipline and a strong, broad-based campaign.
