Frank Annoh Dompreh, the Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, has reminded NPP delegates that the NDC backed John Mahama even when he lost by over one million votes in the 2016 elections.

According to Annoh-Dompreh, the NDC stood firmly behind Mahama even after he lost a general election by a margin of more than one million votes, arguing that political resilience and loyalty to a proven candidate often yield long-term rewards.

Speaking on Monday, January 19, 2026, during Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign engagement in the Ashanti Region, he stated, The NDC still brought Mahama even when he lost by over one million votes”.

Annoh-Dompreh urged NPP delegates to draw lessons from the opposition’s approach and stand solidly behind Dr Bawumia as he seeks re-election to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.

Also, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has told NPP delegates not to go and spoil their votes as he rallies support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Bawumia is going to win the NPP presidential election, so delegates should not waste their vote by voting for other candidates.

The MP stressed that the NPP must be united behind a clear frontrunner for the rebuilding efforts of the party.

Frank Annoh-Dompreh stated, “Bawumia is going to win the forthcoming presidential primaries. So don’t go and spoil your vote,“

Dr Adutwum is my close friend, and we all worship as members of the Church of Pentecost. We even met at the business committee, and I told him, my brother, this battle is not yours,” Mr Annoh-Dompreh stated.

Frank Annoh-Dompreh further added that leadership succession within the party should be guided by long-term vision. He further told the other NPP aspirants, “This is not your time, although your time will come”.

The Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP reechoed his confidence that Dr Bawumia remains the best positioned to lead the party into the next general elections.

Meanwhile, the Nsawam-Adoagyiri MP has earlier said he strongly believes the former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will return to lead Ghana.

According to Frank Annoh Dompreh, if the so-called ‘dead sheep’ (John Mahama) could return to power after losing power, he firmly believes in God’s name, Dr Bawumia will also return to lead Ghana as president.

Speaking to NPP delegates during Dr Bawumia’s campaign tour in the Eastern Region, Annoh Dompreh, stated, “If the so-called ‘dead sheep’ could return and become president, and if Mahama could lose power and come back to lead again, then I believe former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia can also return and become president”.
