Former President John Agyekum Kufuor is expected to host a crucial meeting today with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and other presidential aspirants of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in what could be a significant step toward fostering unity within the party.
The engagement comes at a time when internal competition ahead of the NPP’s presidential primaries has intensified, with various factions rallying behind their preferred candidates. The meeting, sources say, is aimed at promoting cohesion, reducing tensions, and ensuring a united front as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
Although details of the agenda have not been formally disclosed, party insiders indicate that Prez Kufuor is expected to urge the aspirants to conduct their campaigns with decorum and prioritise party unity above personal ambition.
The scheduled meeting underscores the influential role the former President continues to play within the governing party. His interventions, often seen as stabilising efforts, have historically helped diffuse internal rifts and guide the party through critical moments.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, considered a leading contender in the upcoming flagbearer race, is expected to attend alongside other aspirants. The outcome of the meeting may shape the tone of the presidential campaign in the months ahead.
