New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will appear before the party’s vetting committee today, September 23, 2025, as part of the processes leading to the 2026 presidential primary.
The vetting exercise is designed to ensure all aspirants meet party requirements, uphold internal regulations, and demonstrate their readiness to lead.
The former Vice President is expected to outline his leadership credentials, political vision, and strategy to unite the party ahead of the primaries. Running under the campaign theme “Win With Bawumia”, his team has positioned him as a strong contender to lead the NPP into the next general elections.
If cleared, Dr. Bawumia will join four other aspirants in what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive flagbearer contests in recent NPP history. His rivals include:
-
Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former NPP General Secretary.
-
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Assin Central MP and businessman.
-
Dr. Bryan Acheampong, MP for Abetifi and former Minister for Food and Agriculture.
-
Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, MP for Bosomtwe and former Education Minister.
The NPP has scheduled its presidential primaries for January 31, 2026.
