Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed optimism about the party's chances of reclaiming the majority of orphan seats following the successful parliamentary primaries held for those constituencies.

The NPP conducted parliamentary candidate elections for 111 orphan constituencies, with the process being generally peaceful across Ghana on Saturday.

After the internal contest, Bawumia shared his joys on Facebook, stating, "I am very impressed by the quality of candidates chosen to represent our party in these constituencies… I am confident that we will succeed in securing these seats through our sustained unity and collective efforts."

He urged the party to maintain determination and unity in the lead up to the 2024 elections.

"With great determination and a collective working spirit, we are going to win a majority of these orphan seats during the 2024 general election. To keep our momentum and to accomplish victory, we need to stay united from the grassroots down to the highest levels of leadership," Dr Bawumia added.
