Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has officially filed his nomination to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2026 general elections, reaffirming his commitment to reducing the cost of living for Ghanaians and promoting unity within the party.

Speaking shortly after submitting his nomination forms at the NPP headquarters in Accra, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that his vision is anchored on building a more inclusive and economically stable Ghana.

“My goal is to make life more affordable for the ordinary Ghanaian. We will implement practical policies that ease the burden on families, especially in these trying economic times,” he stated.

The Vice President also used the occasion to address internal party dynamics, stressing that unity is crucial for the NPP’s success in the upcoming elections.

“There should be no division among us. I will work with all party members, across all factions and interest groups. Together, we will build a united and formidable NPP ready to serve the people of Ghana.”

Dr. Bawumia’s message of reconciliation and progress comes at a critical time as the party prepares for its presidential primaries. His campaign has so far focused on economic revitalization, digital innovation, and continuity of government policies.

The nomination process drew hundreds of party faithful and sympathizers, who chanted slogans and drummed support for the Vice President as he submitted his forms.

Looking Ahead

Dr. Bawumia is widely seen as a frontrunner in the NPP race, and his message of affordability and unity is expected to resonate with both party delegates and the wider Ghanaian public. As the 2026 election draws near, the Vice President’s policies and leadership style will continue to shape political discourse nationwide.
