Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called for early internal elections within the (NPP) to ensure the party is adequately prepared for the 2028 general elections.
Reflecting on lessons from the 2024 campaign season, Dr Bawumia noted that the party elected its presidential candidate relatively late, which placed it at a disadvantage compared to the opposition (NDC).
He explained that by the time the NPP finalised its flagbearer, NDC candidate President John Mahama had already toured the country, gaining momentum and visibility. "In the last election cycle, we elected our presidential candidate a bit late.
By that time, President Mahama, who had been elected by the NDC much earlier, had already toured the country, giving him an advantage," Dr Bawumia stated.
