A private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu has said that the outcome of the 2028 presidential election will be decided the moment the New Patriotic Party (NPP) elects Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as its flagbearer.
According to him, Bawumia has lost favour with the ordinary Ghanaian.
“Bawumia was part of Akufo-Addo’s government which imposed hardship on Ghanaians. The elections are decided by floating voters. These people are not happy with Bawumia and Akufo-Addo. If the NPP elects Bawumia, Bawumia will give NDC cheap victory,” he said on the KeyPoints on TV3, on October 25.
He was contributing to discussions on polls conducted by Mussa Dankwah.
According to the polls, Dr Bawumia is leading the other four aspirants.
Meanwhile, Sixty-three out of the 87 members of Parliament on the Minority caucus have declared open support for the New Patriotic Party’s 2024 Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of flagbearer race.
