Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, a flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has cast his ballot in the party’s internal elections at the St. George Catholic School in the Bosomtwe Constituency.
A total of 1,042 delegates are expected to vote at the centre.
Speaking to the media after voting, Dr Adutwum expressed gratitude to party executives and supporters in the constituency for their commitment to his campaign.
“I am very appreciative of the work that has been done by the leaders of this constituency, rallying around me to campaign for me. They have done everything it takes to ensure that we end this race with pride. And we are ending with pride,” he said.
He reflected on his political journey, describing his candidature as a product of divine direction.
“If someone had told me growing up that one day I would run for the flagbearership of a major party like the NPP, even if the person was a prophet, I would have said no, not me. But today, I am here. Divine Providence has brought me this far,” he noted.
Dr Adutwum said he remains confident about his chances in the race, stressing that feedback from his agents across the country has been positive.
When asked whether he expects to win by the close of polls, he responded: “By the grace of God. I’ve done what human beings can do. The rest is left to Divine Providence.”
On the issue of party unity after the contest, Dr Adutwum said he considers himself the most unifying candidate among the aspirants.
“I have always maintained that I am the most unifying of all the contestants. On the campaign trail, I never said anything untoward about any of the aspirants. So none of their followers will have a problem following Dr Yaw Adutwum. I ran a dignified campaign,” he stated.
The NPP is holding its internal elections across the country to select a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
