The 2024 flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, yesterday morning made another resounding statement of intent as he officially filed his nomination to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race. The event, which took place at the party’s national headquarters in Accra at exactly 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 28, 2025, drew thousands of enthusiastic party faithful, well-wishers, and prominent figures within the NPP.
The atmosphere at the headquarters was electrifying as supporters thronged the venue, chanting slogans, waving placards, and singing party songs in solidarity with Dr. Bawumia. The massive turnout, despite the early-hour filing, has been described by many political observers as a clear demonstration of the former Vice President’s influence and strong grassroots following.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude to the party’s leadership, delegates, and supporters for their unwavering confidence in him. He reiterated his commitment to leading the NPP into the 2028 elections with what he described as “a bold vision for Ghana’s future.”
“This is not just about filing nominations; it is about the future of our great party and our beloved country. I am ready to lead, ready to unite, and ready to deliver solutions that will secure prosperity for every Ghanaian,” Dr. Bawumia declared to loud cheers from the crowd.
He was accompanied by several Members of Parliament, government officials, constituency executives, and youth groups who pledged their full support for his bid. His campaign team emphasized that his candidacy embodies the party’s tradition of progress, digital transformation, and economic innovation.
Political analysts note that Dr. Bawumia’s morning filing, strategically staged before a charged crowd under the daylight, was a symbolic move designed to highlight the energy, urgency, and momentum of his campaign. Many within the party believe his submission marks the beginning of a decisive push to consolidate his base ahead of the NPP’s internal elections.
