A leading member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Kwame Jantuah has said that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will win the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer race.
He argues that Dr Bawumia is the most marketed person in the NPP at this moment.
“Dr Bawumia is going to win this particular election. All the rest are going to waste their money. He is the most marketed person in the NPP today, the only catch is if he doesn’t suffer from Akufo-Addo’s failure.
“The NPP at this point needs to build unity in their party and confidence with the people that what happened in the last 8 years will not be repeated,” he said on the KeyPoints on TV3 Saturday July 19.
For his part, a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Joshua Jebuntie Zaato, said almost all the credible polls on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer elections suggest that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is preferred to lead the party again into the 2028 general elections.
Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, July 19, he said that Dr Bawumia is still fresh on the minds of the people.
“NPP members are not blaming Bawumia for the defeat…almost all the credible polls suggest that Dr Bawumia is preferred to lead the NPP now,” he said.
His comments centred on the National Delegates Conference that the NPP is holding today, Saturday, July 19 ,to consider and vote on over 50 consolidated motions.
The event, under the theme “Rebuilding Together with our Values,” is taking place at the University of Ghana Stadium in Accra.
Chairman of the Planning Committee, Joseph Osei Owusu, “In all, we have about a little over 50 motions. You may have one amendment, which will have about 50 proposed amendments.
“So what the motions are doing is to consolidate the various issues that come around, and the members will have to vote on those motions,” Osei Owusu explained.
He further revealed that the motions have been compiled into a booklet, which has already been previewed by the party’s National Executive Committee. The documents are expected to be distributed to delegates before the voting session begins.
“All of the motions will be considered. We believe that by 4 PM we should be done,” he added.
