Akuapem North MP and a leading member of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia\u2019s campaign team, Sammi Awuku, says the former Vice President is unsettled by what he considers unfair developments ahead of the New Patriotic Party\u2019s January 31, 2026, presidential primaries.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Adom TV\u2019s Badwam, Mr Awuku revealed that Dr Bawumia\u2019s mood at Thursday\u2019s peace pact signing ceremony reflected deeper concerns about the conduct of the Presidential Election Committee and how the rules of the race are being enforced.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Thursday, I monitored the peace pact signing, and obviously Dr Mahamudu Bawumia wasn\u2019t happy. He has concerns about some developments which he believes show that the Presidential Election Committee and the party are not creating a level playing field,\u201d Mr Awuku said.<\/p>\n

He added that the former Vice President is worried that certain committee decisions could affect the long-term unity and fortunes of the NPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you saw his demeanour, he is human and won\u2019t pretend when all is not well. Some of the decisions of the Presidential Election Committee, he believes, have serious implications for the future of the party,\u201d Mr Awuku noted.<\/p>\n

He stressed that Dr Bawumia\u2019s posture should not be misinterpreted as defiance but as a sign of concern for fairness and internal cohesion within the party.<\/p>\n

The NPP\u2019s peace pact signing, held at Alisa Hotel in Accra, brought together all five flagbearer aspirants, party executives, and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was aimed at ensuring a peaceful, respectful, and united contest. Aspirants committed to campaign without insults, intimidation, or violence, and to accept the outcome of the primaries in good faith for the sake of party unity.<\/p>\n

Former President Nana Akufo-Addo, who addressed the gathering, reminded aspirants that the NPP is \u201cbigger than any individual\u201d and urged them to place the party\u2019s future above personal ambition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
