We’re not taking anything for granted in the 2028 race- Bawumia

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed confidence in his bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after appearing before the party’s vetting committee in Accra on Tuesday, September 23.

Speaking to the media post-vetting, Dr. Bawumia described the session as productive and thorough, stating, “We have had very fruitful discussions. They have asked many questions, and I have answered those questions. So I am very satisfied with my vetting, and I pray that everything is okay. I hope the committee is as satisfied as I am,” he said.

He thanked party members and supporters, explaining the need for continued engagement with delegates as the internal race intensifies.

“I want to thank the rank and file of this party, and I think that from vetting we are heading straight into the country to campaign,” he noted.

Despite his experience as former Vice President, Dr. Bawumia reiterated that neither he nor his team was taking anything for granted, stressing the importance of campaigning to secure the nomination for the 2028 elections.

“We are not taking anything for granted. We have to campaign, sell our ideas and sell the NPP so that we can secure this nomination and proceed for the 2028 election,” he stated.
