The presidential bid of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has received a significant electoral boost in the Bono East Region, with delegates of the Kintampo South Constituency publicly committing to deliver an overwhelming majority of votes in the forthcoming 2026 NPP Presidential Primaries.

The staunch pledge, made during Dr. Bawumia’s ongoing 'Our Journey Together' regional tour, sets an ambitious benchmark of securing more than 77% of the total delegate votes cast in the constituency.

Setting a New Benchmark: Exceeding the 2023 Performance

By citing this number as their minimum target, the Kintampo South delegates are signaling an intent to ensure the former Vice President’s support base remains robust and surpasses his previous mandate.

Delegates, representing the party's grassroots in the constituency—which comprises 75 polling stations and typically registers over 300 primary delegates—reaffirmed their conviction that Dr. Bawumia is the optimal candidate to lead the NPP to victory in the 2028 general elections.

Their commitment follows the conclusion of a series of strategic engagements between the candidate and party executives across the Bono East Region, which contains 11 constituencies and is considered a critical battleground for national elections.

Pillars of Renewed Support

During the meeting, delegates outlined key qualities driving their renewed and overwhelming support for the former Vice President.

They emphasized his track record, particularly his work in national digitalization and economic management.

A leading constituency executive, speaking on behalf of the assembled delegates, captured the unified sentiment behind their unprecedented numerical promise.

This strong delegate support is expected to galvanize the party faithful in the Kintampo South area, which is historically competitive in general elections.
