Former Kade MP endorses Bawumia for NPP flagbearer

Former Kade MP and onetime campaign manager for Kwabena Agyepong in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries, Ofosu Asamoah, has formally endorsed former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Asamoah announced his decision at a campaign event, marking his first public appearance with Dr. Bawumia since shifting his allegiance. He said the move followed a reassessment of the party’s internal contest and a growing conviction that Dr. Bawumia is the NPP’s strongest path to victory in the 2028 general elections.

Addressing delegates, Asamoah said he believed joining Dr. Bawumia’s camp was the right step for both himself and the party.

“I am still the same Ofosu Asamoah you know. My connection with Dr. Bawumia and his team isn’t new; I simply chose not to back him earlier this year. But sometimes in life, you recognize that a change is necessary."

“Having observed the campaign closely as Kwabena Agyapong’s manager, I feel things haven’t gone as planned. That’s why I am now joining Dr. Bawumia’s team, whom I believe is destined to be the next president,” he said.

His endorsement is expected to bolster Dr. Bawumia’s efforts to consolidate support ahead of the NPP presidential primaries set for January 31, 2026.
