Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that despite being widely regarded as the overwhelming favourite to win the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries on January 31, he remains determined to work even harder by engaging delegates across the country to make a personal case for their support.

Dr Bawumia, who is seeking re-election as the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2028 general election, has been campaigning vigorously in constituencies nationwide. Observers have commended him for the intensity of his campaign, noting that he has been more visible on the trail than his opponents, despite his front-runner status.

Speaking in an interview with Spear FM in Damongo in the Savannah Region during his campaign tour, Dr Bawumia said party delegates deserve respect and must be engaged directly.

“I never take anything for granted. In politics, you have to keep working hard until everything is done,” he said.

He added that his personal philosophy is rooted in hard work and humility, stressing that success must be earned rather than assumed.

“I am touring virtually all the 276 constituencies, and the Savannah Region is the 13th region I have visited,” he noted.

Dr Bawumia expressed gratitude to God for granting him the strength to undertake such an intense campaign and for the positive reception his message has received from party members.

So far, he has toured 13 of the 16 regions, with visits to the Northern, Greater Accra and Ashanti regions still outstanding.
