A constituency Youth Organizer for Zebilla in the Upper East Region, Mr. Akumbo Samuel Wakiki, has expressed confidence that the 490 Youth Organizers endorsement of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is a clear sign of victory in the 2028 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with the media, Mr. Wakiki, who is also an aspiring Upper East Regional youth organizer, stated that Dr. Bawumia deserves a second chance to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a flagbearer to secure power in the 2028 elections.
He stressed that Dr. Bawumia stands tall among other contenders, citing his preparedness, marketability, formidability, and popularity.
“We believe that Dr. Bawumia is the most prepared, credible, marketable, formidable, and popular candidate with rich ideas for the 2028 elections,” Mr. Wakiki stated.
“He is the only candidate who can match whoever the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is bringing to the contest for the 2028 elections” Mr. Wakiki further argued.
Mr. Wakiki has therefore made a sincere appeal to all delegates to consider Dr. Bawumia as the ideal candidate to lead the party for the second time, drawing parallels with former NPP leaders J.A. Kufour and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who both had successful stints as flagbearers.
According to Mr. Wakiki, the endorsement by the 490 Youth Organizers is seen as a significant boost to Dr. Bawumia’s campaign, and underscores the growing support for the former Vice President within the NPP youth wing.
