Elected presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has pledged to work closely with party leadership to restore discipline and unity within the party as it prepares for the 2028 general elections.
The former vice president made the pledge after he had been officially declared the winner of the keenly contested January 31, 2026, contest.
Dr Bawumia said discipline would be central to rebuilding trust, strengthening internal cohesion, and positioning the party for victory in 2028.
“I will work with party leadership at all levels to bring discipline to our party,” Dr Bawumia told party supporters, stressing that unity and order are critical to the NPP’s electoral fortunes.
He appealed to the supporters and other contenders to put aside differences arising from the contest and rally behind a common purpose.
Meanwhile, he has called for party unity.
“Together we stand, divided we fall,” Dr Bawumia proclaimed to thunderous applause. He emphasised that the primary was merely a family contest, adding, “The outcome of the election should mark the beginning of cooperation among party members.”
“I appeal to delegates and supporters across the country to let go of any reservations they may have and unite behind the party’s vision,” he said.
“The strength of the party lies in unity,” Bawumia stressed, “and moving forward together is essential for presenting the best of the NPP to the Ghanaian electorate.”
Dr Bawumia won the primary with 110,643 votes, representing 56.48 per cent of the total votes cast, defeating Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in a contest that party officials described as largely peaceful, transparent, and well-organised across the country.
