Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has made an appeal to New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in the Sene East Constituency, urging them to consider his long-standing commitment to the party as grounds for leading it into the 2028 general elections.
Addressing party supporters during his tour, Dr. Bawumia reflected on what he described as a 16-year journey of loyalty and sacrifice.
He recalled joining the NPP ticket in 2008 at the invitation of then-candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, despite widespread doubts about the party’s electoral chances that year.
He also referenced his decision to leave a senior role at the African Development Bank in 2012 to return home and support the party during a challenging campaign season, including serving as a key witness in the NPP’s election petition case.
Since then, Bawumia said, he has remained a central figure in the party’s electoral successes and policy direction, highlighting initiatives like the Ghana Card, Mobile Money Interoperability, and the Medical Drone Delivery Service as proof of his impact even within the limits of the Vice President’s office.
Dr. Bawumia told delegates that his record demonstrates not only loyalty but also results, and he urged the party to continue building on that foundation as it looks ahead to the next political cycle beyond 2024.
