Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 elections continues to gather steam, with constituency executives and grassroots leaders in the Eastern Region offering a new wave of endorsements during his regional tour.
Dr Bawumia, who has been touring the region since Monday, has already secured public backing from MPs, former appointees, parliamentary candidates, and party executives.
His campaign received another major boost on Friday as leaders across the Akuapem enclave declared their support.
In Akuapem South, Constituency Chairman Dankwa Peter Addo openly endorsed the former Vice President. Similar endorsements followed in Akuapem North and Okere, where constituency chairmen Omane Mensah Bonso and Justice Yaw Mensah described Dr Bawumia as the most “marketable” and “formidable” aspirant capable of leading the party to victory in 2028.
The show of support extended beyond current executives. Former Okere MP, Brandford Kwame Daniel Adu, also declared his support, urging party faithful in the area to stand firmly behind Dr Bawumia in the lead-up to the January 2026 primaries.
Grassroots endorsement was equally strong. In Akuapem North, 29 out of 31 electoral area coordinators publicly pledged allegiance to Dr Bawumia, promising to mobilise polling station executives in his favour.
“We work with the polling station executives, so just as we have demonstrated our support for you here, it will be the same down there, too,” the coordinators assured. “We commit to working very hard to ensure that you are victorious.”
Dr Bawumia’s team described the receptions across the constituencies as “electric,” pointing to what they say is a reflection of the former Vice President’s broad appeal within the party’s rank-and-file.
