Former Vice President and 2028 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on party members to embrace discipline, sacrifice and hard work as the party prepares for the next general elections.
Addressing supporters at the NPP’s Islamic Thanksgiving Service on Friday, February 13, organised to mark his victory in the party’s flagbearer race, Dr. Bawumia emphasised that electoral success in 2028 would require sustained effort at every level of the party structure.
“The road ahead will demand discipline, sacrifice and hard work. Victory in 2028 will not be gifted to us. It must be earned, constituency by constituency, household by household, with humility and purpose,” he stated.
Dr. Bawumia underscored the importance of internal cohesion, noting that healing within the party would not come through silence but through constructive engagement focused on shared values and common goals.
“Healing will not come from silence. It will come from speaking up on what binds us together and working towards it as a family. We have more that binds us together than what we differ on,” he said.
The former Vice President urged party faithful to deepen unity and present a clear, compelling policy vision to the Ghanaian electorate ahead of the 2028 polls. He stressed that reconciliation and trust-building must be prioritised to strengthen the party’s electoral prospects.
“Let us put behind us personal grudges, internal suspicions and factional lines. Let us rebuild trust among ourselves. Let us return to the values that built this party: service, competence, respect for institutions and belief in the Ghanaian people,” he added.
The Islamic Thanksgiving Service formed part of activities following Dr. Bawumia’s emergence as the NPP’s presidential candidate. Party executives, members and supporters attended the event, which focused on gratitude, unity and renewed commitment to the party’s political objectives.
With the flagbearer contest concluded, the NPP is expected to intensify grassroots mobilisation and policy engagement as it positions itself for what is anticipated to be a highly competitive 2028 general election.
