According to Dr. Bawumia, the NDC’s motive is rooted in fear — fear of his strong appeal to the Ghanaian electorate and his potential to secure a decisive victory in the 2028 general elections should he emerge as the NPP’s presidential candidate.
“The NDC doesn’t want me to win the NPP flagbearership; that’s why they’re campaigning for some of my opponents. They know that if I win the flagbearership race, I will win the 2028 elections,” Dr. Bawumia declared.
His statement underscores the increasing tension and high stakes within the governing party’s internal contest as various aspirants step up their campaigns ahead of the NPP’s decisive election.
Political analysts have noted that Dr. Bawumia remains one of the leading contenders in the race, leveraging his experience as Vice President, his digital transformation agenda, and his strong base in both northern and southern Ghana. However, his assertion that the NDC is indirectly backing some of his rivals adds a new twist to the political dynamics, suggesting that the opposition may have strategic interests in who becomes the NPP’s next flagbearer.
Meanwhile, the NDC has yet to respond to Dr. Bawumia’s claims. Observers believe such allegations may fuel further debate about cross-party strategies and influence in Ghana’s political landscape as both major parties gear up for the 2028 polls.
