The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is entering a decisive phase in its search for a flagbearer, with Members of Parliament revealing their political loyalties in what promises to be a fiercely contested primary.

The internal race has already begun to reshape alliances within the party, with some MPs openly declaring their support for key contenders while others have chosen to remain on the fence.

Dr.

Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana's Vice President, appears to have taken an early lead in terms of endorsements from MPs.
