Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, a former President of Ghana, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win the 2028 elections.
According to Akufo-Addo, the NPP must grab the opportunity the 2028 election presents to bring the party back to power in 2028.
Speaking with Dennis Miracles Aboagye when he visited him at his office, Akufo-Addo stated, “2028, come what may, we have to win this election. The opportunity is 2028; let’s grab it and make sure we bring an NPP government back into office”.
He further highlighted that after the internal elections, there will be a need for the party to bring everyone on board to help fight for power in 2028.
In related news, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said the party’s primary objective is to regain political power in the 2028 elections.
According to Dr Bawumia, the August 15 regional elections should not be viewed as the end of the party’s internal activities but rather as part of a broader process aimed at creating a stronger and more effective political organisation capable of winning back power in the 2028 election.
He also reminded the executives that their election should be viewed as a responsibility rather than merely a political achievement.
Dr Bawumia stated, “The goal for all of us is to win the 2028 election. This is just a stepping stone towards winning 2028. As a party, we have been engaged in an exercise of reorganisation. We have had our polling station elections, our electoral area elections, we have had our constituency elections, and we have now had our regional elections.
“We will culminate that process on October 10 with the national elections and therefore, at the end of that, the party will be in a good position to have that vehicle that drives us to victory in 2028. So there is a lot of work ahead of us.”
Also, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 running mate, has said if the party do not win the 2028 general election, they cannot win the 2032 election.
According to NAPO, if the NPP do not fight for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to become running mate, no one will come after him.
Speaking to some NPP members in a viral video shared on social media, NAPO stated, “If the NPP do not fight for Dr Bawumia to come, no one will come after him. If you think I am telling lies, don’t do it. If we do not win the 2028 we cannot win the 2023 election.
So if somebody comes to tell you that someone wants to lead in 2032, shame them”.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh further disclosed that he could have picked up forms to contest in the NPP presidential primaries, but he will never stand unless Dr Mahamudu Bawumia become president.
NAPO added, “I have said it on the radio: I can pick forms in the NPP, but if I have not helped Dr Bawumia to become President, I will never stand”.
