The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asserted that the primary aim of the party is to reclaim political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2028 general elections.
Dr. Bawumia emphasised that the ongoing internal reorganisation within the party is a vital step towards revitalising its structures and equipping its members for the next general election.
He made these statements on Sunday, August 16, while addressing the newly elected Greater Accra Regional executives of the NPP following the party’s regional executive elections.
The former Vice President encouraged the newly elected executives to fully dedicate themselves to the reorganisation process and to work on fortifying the party at all levels.
He pointed out that the regional elections held on August 15 should not be perceived as the conclusion of the party’s internal activities, but rather as part of a larger initiative aimed at establishing a more robust and effective political organisation capable of securing victory in the 2028 election.
“The goal for all of us is to win the 2028 election. This is just a stepping stone towards winning 2028. As a party, we have been engaged in an exercise of reorganisation. We have had our polling station elections, our electoral area elections, we have had our constituency elections, and we have now had our regional elections.
“We will culminate that process on October 10 with the national elections and therefore, at the end of that, the party will be in a good position to have that vehicle that drives us to victory in 2028. So there is a lot of work ahead of us.”
Dr. Bawumia also reminded the executives that their election should be regarded as a responsibility rather than simply a political accomplishment, considering the extensive work needed to reposition the party in preparation for the 2028 elections.
