Africa-Press – Ghana. An elder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bono Region, Mr Yaw Dabie Appiah-Mensah says it will be politically inexpedient and suicidal if delegates failed to vote for the former Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as they go to polls on January 31.
He reminded the delegates that the NPP had trajectory, noting that deviating from that pattern would thereby narrow the chances of the party in regaining political power in the Election 2028.
The NPP goes to polls to elect the party’s Election 2028 flagbearer on Saturday January 31, with political experts and analysts predicting a win for either Alhaji Dr Bawumia or presidential hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a business mogul, and a former Member of Parliament.
Other hopefuls include Dr Yaw Adutwum, a former MP and Minister of Education, Mr Kwabena Agyapong, a former General Secretary of the party and Dr Bryan Acheampong, also a former MP.
Mr Appiah-Mensah, also a member of the Bono Regional Council of Elders of the NPP gave the advice in an interview at Odomase in the Sunyani West constituency of the Bono Region.
He reminded the NPP delegates that the party had a precedent, and they could therefore not move away from that, urging them to give Alhaji Dr Bawumia another chance to lead the party in the 2028 General Election.
“With that precedent our great party will be ungrateful and suffer the shock if we fail Bawumia to lead us in the Election 2028”, he warned.
Mr Appiah-Mensah warned that: “posterity will not spare us if we deviate from the trajectory set by our founding fathers. That means we are sinking directly into our political grave in the 2028 General Election”.
“As a former regional organiser, I know and understand the dynamics and intricacies in our internal body politics.
Mr Appiah-Mensah urged the delegates to make informed decisions and vote for Alhaji Dr Bawumia, predicting that: “With Bawumia our electoral victory in 2028 is essentially secured”.
