More than 60 Members of Parliament from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are currently gathered at the office of former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to affirm their support for his anticipated bid to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
The MPs, drawn from various constituencies across the country, are reported to have held a closed-door meeting with the Vice-President on Wednesday afternoon.
This show of solidarity follows the NPP’s recent decision to hold its presidential primary on 31st January 2026.
The move, announced after a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Tuesday, 17 June, is aimed at giving the party ample time to prepare for the next general elections and to unite around a chosen flagbearer.
Dr Bawumia, who was the party’s presidential candidate in the 2024 elections, is widely expected to contest again.
Sources close to the meeting say the MPs expressed confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership and urged him to formally declare his intention to run.
“We believe he remains the best hope for our party’s future, and we are ready to stand firmly behind him,” one MP who attended the meeting told journalists on condition of anonymity.
The gathering at the former Vice-President’s office is seen as an early indication of the momentum building around his expected candidacy.
While Dr Bawumia has yet to officially announce his decision, Thursday’s strong show of support from NPP lawmakers suggests he continues to command significant influence within the party.
