Vice Chairman of the ‘Bawumia 2024 Campaign Team,’ Nana Akomea, says he is convinced that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will record an even stronger performance in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming presidential primaries than he did in 2023.

In an interview on Citi FM on Monday, December 8, Akomea argued that Dr Bawumia’s appeal within the party has grown significantly — and notably, without the influence of incumbency this time around.

He maintained that this expanded support base puts the former Vice President in a favourable position ahead of the January polls.

“Bawumia’s popularity has actually risen without incumbency, and that is why I keep saying he will do better than he did in 2023. It’s just a month away — you will see,” Akomea stated confidently.

The NPP will elect its presidential candidate on January 31, 2026. Dr Bawumia is one of five aspirants seeking to lead the party into the next general election.

The other contenders are former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, former Agriculture Minister Dr Bryan Acheampong, former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong.
