The Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Hon. Kwabena Boateng Esq., has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to put aside internal differences and unite behind the party’s flag-bearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Hon. Boateng, who previously played a key role in Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign, emphasized that the internal contest is over and the party must now focus on the shared goal of securing victory in 2028.
A Call for Unity
Hon. Boateng noted that the results of the recent NPP primaries reflect the will of the party faithful.
He called on members who supported other candidates to respect the majority decision.
“The verdict delivered by NPP members last Saturday sends a clear message: we must market Dr. Bawumia to ensure the party recaptures political power in 2028,” he stated.
Grassroots Mobilization
The Ejisu MP announced plans to lead a reconciliation and mobilization drive across his constituency. His strategy includes:
- Constituency Tours: Visiting all electoral areas and polling stations personally.
- Healing the Divide: Reaching out to supporters of Kennedy Agyapong and other candidates to ensure full alignment.
- Grassroots Advocacy: Engaging voters in everyday spaces, from local markets to radio stations.
“While many had different preferences during the primaries, the majority has spoken. It is now incumbent upon every member to support Dr. Bawumia’s leadership,” Hon. Boateng remarked.
Total Commitment
He stressed that the NPP cannot afford complacency and urged all members to actively promote the flag-bearer’s vision.
“Our duty is to make Dr. Bawumia and the NPP brand the preferred choice for the Ghanaian people.
We will take our message to every corner of the country, from the airwaves to the local ‘chop bars,’ to ensure it resonates with the electorate,” he concluded.
Ejisu Primary Results Overview:
Mahamudu Bawumia: 477 votes (46.40%)
