The Yagaba Kubore Constituency in the North East Region has pledged an emphatic 100 per cent endorsement for former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the New Patriotic Party’s upcoming flagbearer primaries.

The NPP is scheduled to go to the polls on January 31 to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections, with Dr Bawumia facing competition from four other contenders.

During a campaign visit to the constituency on Sunday, December 14, 2025, party members, led by key figures in the area, assured Dr Bawumia of total support.

They said they were ready to replicate the outcome of the 2023 primaries, where he secured overwhelming backing in the constituency.

Dr. Bawumia was given a rousing reception at the auditorium of Yagaba Senior High School, where party delegates and members gathered to welcome him.

Chants, applause and visible enthusiasm from supporters marked the event.

After several speakers addressed the gathering, the Member of Parliament for the area, Mustapha Ussif, formally declared the constituency’s position.

“The first constituency in the republic to declare 100% for Dr Bawumia, on the 31st of January 2026, will be Yagaba Kubore,” he said, drawing loud cheers from delegates.

He said the declaration reflected a united decision by party structures at all levels.

“On behalf of the good people and all the delegates, myself, my constituency chairman, the former DCE, former constituency executives, current constituency executives, polling station executives and electoral area coordinators, all of us, we have declared 100% for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on the 31st of January 2026, in shaa Allah,” he added.
