The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on unsuccessful aspirants in the party’s constituency executive elections to put the outcome behind them and support the newly elected executives in the interest of party unity.
His appeal follows the conclusion of constituency executive elections held across the country as part of the NPP’s ongoing reorganisation exercise aimed at rebuilding the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
In a statement issued after the polls on Saturday, July 11, Dr. Bawumia congratulated all newly elected constituency executives and commended every aspirant who contested the elections for demonstrating commitment to the growth of the party.
“To all candidates in our constituency elections across the country, I extend my warmest wishes as you offer yourselves to serve our great New Patriotic Party and the people of Ghana. Your willingness to lead and contribute to the progress of our party is commendable and reflects the enduring strength of our democratic tradition,” the former vice president said.
He urged party members to remain united regardless of the election outcomes, stressing that the collective interest of the NPP should take precedence over individual ambitions.
“Let us remember that, regardless of the outcomes, we remain members of one family with a shared commitment to rebuilding and advancing our party and our beloved nation,” he added.
Dr. Bawumia further appealed to both winners and those who were unsuccessful to work together in strengthening the party at the constituency level.
“When the elections are concluded, let us rally behind those elected and work together with renewed purpose and determination.”
He expressed optimism that the internal elections would reinforce cohesion within the party and better position it for future political contests.
“May these elections strengthen our unity and position our party for the greater tasks ahead,” Dr. Bawumia concluded.
The constituency executive elections formed part of the NPP’s nationwide restructuring process following the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections. The exercise was organised to elect new constituency officers to lead the party’s grassroots structures as preparations begin towards the 2028 elections.
Although the elections were conducted in most constituencies across the country, voting did not take place in some areas due to pending court cases and unresolved internal disputes.
