On Tuesday, September 23, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president, appeared before the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) vetting committee in Accra and expressed confidence in his quest to lead the party.
In an interview with reporters following his screening, Dr. Bawumia characterized the meeting as comprehensive and fruitful.
“We have had very fruitful discussions. They have asked many questions, and I have answered those questions. So I am very satisfied with my vetting, and I pray that everything is okay. I hope the committee is as satisfied as I am,” he said.
As the internal struggle heats up, Dr. Bawumia thanked party members and supporters and emphasized the value of ongoing communication with delegates.
“I want to thank the rank and file of this party, and I think that from vetting we are heading straight into the country to campaign,” he noted.
He further underscored that despite his status as former Vice President, he and his campaign team were not taking anything for granted.
“We are not taking anything for granted. We have to campaign, sell our ideas and sell the NPP so that we can secure this nomination and proceed for the 2028 election,” Dr. Bawumia added.
