Former Vice President and 2024 (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has laid out a historical pattern he believes will point to the outcome of Ghana's 2028 presidential election.
Speaking during an open interaction with MMDCEs in Accra on Monday, June 23, 2025, Dr Bawumia drew a direct line through Ghana's democratic history, citing a consistent tradition where sitting or outgoing presidents' hand over power to individuals they had previously contested in elections.
According to him, this pattern places him next in line for the presidency, following President John Mahama.
He began with former President , who, after contesting and defeating John Agyekum Kufuor in 1996, eventually handed over power to him in 2001.
