It will never happen.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s <em>Ekosii Sen<\/em> show on Wednesday, 7th January, 2026, Mr Opare-Ansah dismissed any suggestion that the contest would be closely contested, claiming that the situation has now become much clearer for the Bawumia campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are things that won\u2019t happen, and they won\u2019t happen. We don\u2019t even need to speculate on them,\u201d Mr Opare-Ansah said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the campaign manager, his team\u2019s recent engagements with delegates and their growing support leave no doubt in his mind about the outcome of the primary.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Opare-Ansah\u2019s confidence stems from his direct engagement with party delegates across the country. <\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the challenges of 2023, he noted that during that period, there was still some uncertainty around Dr. Bawumia\u2019s position within the party, largely due to his status as an \u201cestablishment candidate\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, had created an environment where it was difficult to gauge the true sentiments of delegates. <\/p>\n<p>However, Mr Opare-Ansah believes that things have changed dramatically in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, there were places where it was difficult to get clarity, especially with the perception that Bawumia was too closely tied to the establishment. But today, it\u2019s no longer the case. We are seeing the picture more clearly; we are seeing our way more clearly,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Opare-Ansah also dismissed claims from rival campaigns that financial influence would play a significant role in the election outcome. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not claiming to have enough money; we don\u2019t have money. Those who have money are there; the other candidates who claim to have money are there. They are the ones the delegates are waiting upon to give them money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For Mr Opare-Ansah, the key question now is not whether Bawumia can win, but rather, \u201cWhy should we change Bawumia?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The campaign manager insisted that delegates are now asking themselves why they would support another candidate when Bawumia is seen as the best person to lead the party into the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Opare-Ansah, by the end of Wednesday, Bawumia\u2019s campaign will have covered 14 regions. Everywhere they have gone, he claims, the message has been consistent: \u201cNo change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the close of today, we will have traversed 14 regions, and everywhere we go, the people start shouting, \u2018No change,\u2019\u201d Opare-Ansah proudly declared.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that certain rival campaigns may be relying on their financial resources to sway delegates, but he asserted that Bawumia\u2019s campaign is built on more than just money. Instead, it is rooted in a clear vision for the country and the future of the NPP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way Dr. Bawumia will not win this election. It will never happen,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n
