Bawumia predicted to win NPP race with nearly 70% votes

Former Minister of Tourism, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, has said that although all five aspirants in the New Patriotic Party’s presidential race are capable leaders, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stands out clearly among them.

Speaking on Metro TV on Thursday, January 22, Mercer said the contest should go beyond basic competence and focus on who is best placed to lead the party to victory in 2028.

“All five aspirants are qualified, but Bawumia stands tall when you look at experience, national appeal and readiness to lead,” he stated.

He explained that Dr Bawumia’s experience as Vice President and as the party’s flagbearer in the 2024 election gives him a clear advantage over the other contenders.

According to Mercer, this is why many senior party members and former parliamentary candidates have publicly declared their support for Dr Bawumia’s bid to lead the NPP again into the 2028 general elections.

Egyapa Mercer added that feedback from party structures across the country shows strong grassroots backing for the former Vice President.

“From what we are seeing on the ground, Dr Bawumia is likely to win with close to 70 per cent of the votes. The support base is very strong,” he said.

Mercer, who is leading more than 100 former NPP parliamentary candidates from the 2024 election in support of Dr Bawumia, said the growing momentum is due to the former Vice President’s accessibility and record in office.

He noted that a decisive victory would help unite the party early and place it in a strong position ahead of the 2028 general elections…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
