The Member of Parliament for Techiman South, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah, has urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, describing him as the party’s most viable candidate for the 2028 general elections.

Speaking during Dr. Bawumia’s campaign tour of the Bono East Region, the former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development said the NPP could not afford to take chances in its choice of flagbearer as it works to reclaim power.

“If we want to experiment, then we can choose someone else, but we cannot afford to miss the opportunity to win in 2028,” he stated. “If you take out President Mahama, the next most popular politician in Ghana is Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”

Mr. Mensah Korsah emphasized that Dr. Bawumia’s popularity and visibility across the country make him the most marketable option for the NPP. “Since we began this tour, I have seen at least five billboards of Dr. Bawumia in every town. He has already been marketed. Why should we overlook that, especially when we are in opposition and may face financial constraints?” he asked.

He added that the 2028 election would not be about who has served the longest in politics but about who can deliver victory. He therefore encouraged delegates in Techiman North to give Dr. Bawumia even stronger support than Techiman South, which recorded his highest vote share in the 2023 NPP presidential primaries.

Concluding his remarks, the Techiman South MP appealed to all delegates to “vote massively” for Dr. Bawumia, insisting that unity and strategy around a strong, electable candidate are the NPP’s best hope for returning to power.
