The Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured candidates who lost in the party’s just-ended national delegates’ conference that they will have important roles to play in the party’s campaign ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Dr Bawumia said no member of the party would be left behind as the NPP begins preparations for the next general election.
Addressing the gathering at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026, he called for unity and collective effort among party members as the NPP seeks to return to power in 2028.
“You will be part of the campaign in 2028; there is work for everybody, and we are going to involve everybody,” Dr Bawumia said.
He acknowledged that winning the 2028 election would require a united and determined party, stressing that the NPP could not afford to underestimate the task ahead.
“Winning in 2028 will require unity; it will not be an easy election; we will have to work harder; we must work harder,” he added.
John Boadu pledges renewed NPP
The newly elected National Chairman of the NPP, John Boadu, has also pledged to lead efforts to build what he described as a renewed party ahead of the next general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the newly elected national executives at the delegates’ conference, Mr Boadu said the new leadership would serve the party with humility and work closely with members across all levels.
“Our task is to build a renewed NPP, one that listens and consults more. We are going to work closely with regional executives, constituents, external branches, and our MPs led by Afenyo-Markin,” he said.
He said the new executives would seek greater collaboration with the party’s grassroots structures and other stakeholders as they work to strengthen the NPP.
