Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s representative at the Electoral Commission’s National Collation Centre, Fuseinu Issah, has described the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primary as a major victory for the party, saying it has positioned itself well ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking to Graphic Online, the former Member of Parliament for Okaikwei North said the exercise demonstrated the party’s resolve to put its internal processes in order, following constitutional reviews and recommendations, while allowing sufficient time to prepare for the next national polls.
“The process has been a heated campaign, but thankfully, we’ve had a smooth voting process with no major hitches reported,” Mr Issah said.
He commended all the aspirants, including Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, for what he described as their significant contributions to strengthening the party during the contest.
Mr Issah stressed the need for unity in the aftermath of the primary, urging party members to rally behind the eventual flagbearer.
“We must come together as a united force, leveraging our resources, especially time, to put our house in order and win back power in 2028,” he stated.
Provisional results from 15 out of the 17 regions, including the party headquarters, show Dr Bawumia in the lead with 71,123 votes, followed by Dr Acheampong with 26,747 votes, Mr Agyapong with 26,680 votes, Dr Osei Adutwum with 928 votes and Mr Kwabena Agyepong with 291 votes.
