Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, discussed how a loss in the 2024 elections could ultimately work in Bawumia’s favor, particularly with a new NDC candidate set to emerge in the 2028 general elections.
Aboagye, in an open conversation with host Desmond Okraku Danso on Good Afternoon Ghana on Metro TV, said that the difficulties Dr. Bawumia encountered during the 2024 general elections might ultimately pave the way for a more successful political career in 2028.
Aboagye explained that the defeat in 2024 could be a strategic advantage for Bawumia, especially with the expected emergence of a new candidate from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 elections. “Losing in 2024 doesn’t diminish Dr. Bawumia’s relevance. In fact, it places him in a stronger position for 2028, when the political dynamics will shift with the NDC bringing in a fresh candidate,” Aboagye said.
As the race for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership heats up ahead of the January 31st, 2026 race, Aboagye’s comments suggest that Bawumia’s political trajectory is far from over, even if he faces a setback in the upcoming elections. The focus, according to Aboagye, is on Dr. Bawumia’s vision and leadership capabilities, which will be crucial when the NPP enters the 2026 contest with a more defined strategy.
“The NPP is committed to continuing its vision of progress for Ghana, and Bawumia’s leadership will be key in guiding the country forward,” Aboagye added.
