(NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, appears to have taken subtle jabs at his contenders after submitting his nomination form for the party's upcoming presidential primaries.
Addressing scores of NPP supporters at the party's head office in Accra after the submission of the forms on Thursday, August 28, 2025, Dr Bawumia, without mentioning names, threw jabs that pointed in the direction of his contenders.
He asserted that any decision other than electing him as flagbearer of the NPP at the party's presidential primaries slated for January 31, 2026, would widen the gap between the rich and the poor in the party. "This election is an election not only for a flagbearer of our party but an election for the soul of this party. "The choice we make on Jan 31 will determine whether or not this party will hold on to the values that make us great or become a new party focused on deepening the chasm between the rich and the poor," he said.
Dr Bawumia, who was the flagbearer of the NPP in the 2024 election and the Vice President under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, then went on to take a swipe at persons in the party, who he claimed are always flaunted their wealth to world.
