Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared that the party’s primary objective is to regain political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 general elections.

Dr Bawumia said the party’s ongoing internal reorganisation is a critical step towards rebuilding its structures and preparing its members for the next general election.

He made the remarks on Sunday, August 16, while addressing newly elected Greater Accra Regional executives of the NPP following the party’s regional executive elections.

The former Vice President urged the newly elected executives to commit themselves fully to the reorganisation process and work towards strengthening the party at all levels.

He indicated that 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 the 2028 election.

“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.”

Dr Bawumia also reminded the executives that their election should be viewed as a responsibility rather than merely a political achievement, given the amount of work required to reposition the party ahead of the 2028 elections.
