Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has picked the number 3 slot on the ballot paper ahead of the party’s January 31, 2026, presidential primary.
The balloting exercise, held today at the NPP Headquarters in Accra, brought together representatives of the aspirants, members of the party’s elections committee, and other key stakeholders.
Dr. Bawumia’s team received the number 3 position amid cheers from supporters who described the number as symbolic of victory and continuity — linking it to the belief that he is destined to become the third NPP President under the Fourth Republic, after former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The balloting marks a significant step in the party’s internal election process, which will determine who leads the NPP into the 2028 general elections.
The NPP is gearing up for a competitive yet peaceful contest as aspirants intensify their campaigns across the country.
Party officials reiterated their commitment to a transparent, fair, and credible process, emphasizing that unity after the primary will be crucial to securing victory in the next general elections.
The January 31 primary will see delegates from all 275 constituencies casting their votes to elect the next presidential candidate to lead the NPP into the future.
