Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on party members to embrace discipline, unity and deliberate effort if they are to secure victory in the 2028 general elections, stressing that success will not come automatically.

Speaking at the National Thanksgiving Service held at University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) on February 15, 2026, Dr Bawumia underscored the need for internal healing and reconciliation as the foundation for a strong political comeback.

“What is left of the healing and uniting is acknowledging where each went too far, telling ourselves the truth and still choosing to walk together,” he said.

He emphasised that genuine reconciliation within the party requires openness and honest engagement rather than silence.

“Healing will not come from silence; it will come from speaking up on what binds us together and working towards it. As a family, we have more that binds us together than what we differ on,” he added, urging members to focus on shared values and common purpose.

Turning to the 2028 elections, Dr Bawumia delivered a firm message about the task ahead, warning against complacency.

“The road ahead will demand discipline, sacrifice, and hard work. Victory in 2028 will not be gifted to us. It must be earned constituency by constituency, and household by household with humility and purpose,” he stated.

He encouraged party faithful to close ranks, rebuild trust at the grassroots, and commit themselves to sustained engagement with voters across the country as the party prepares for the next electoral contest.
