Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has appointed all four of his former rivals in the party’s presidential primaries as co-chairmen of newly established NPP policy committees.
According to reports, the NPP policy committees will work to establish a data-driven policy committee framework within the party.
The NPP Policy Committee will be chaired by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who seeks to generate credible, evidence-based alternative policy recommendations across critical sectors of Ghana’s economy and governance.
“Dr Bawumia appoints all four former presidential aspirants who contested against him as co-chairs of @NPP_GH Policy Committees.
1. Co-Chair of Employment and Jobs Policy Committee — Hon. Kennedy Agyapong.
2. Co-Chair of Defence and Interior Policy Committee — Hon. Dr Bryan Acheampong.
3. Co-Chair of Education Policy Committee — Hon. Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum.
4. Co-Chair of Housing and Urban Development Policy Committee — Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyapong”
Political analysts and governance commentators have described the move as “textbook coalition management executed at exactly the right moment.”
Dr Domfeh stated, “What Bawumia has done is essentially neutralise any lingering post-primary tension by giving each of these men ownership — real, substantive ownership of a critical policy area,” political analyst Dr Domfeh said.
“He hasn’t just offered them titles. He has given them responsibility, and with responsibility comes accountability to the larger party project.”
In related news, Sammi Awuku, the former Director-General of the National Lottery Authority and Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, has revealed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) plans to win the 2028 election.
