Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed gratitude to his campaign team, parliamentary supporters, and party executives following his strong performance in the New Patriotic Party\u2019s presidential primaries held on Saturday, January 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his campaign\u2019s collation centre ahead of the Electoral Commission\u2019s official declaration of results, Dr Bawumia credited his success to the collective effort of his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re only as good as your team in these matters. And I can say without any fear of contradiction that I have been blessed with an excellent team,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Dr Bawumia specifically acknowledged his national campaign coordinators for their instrumental roles in the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign team, in general, everybody has contributed so much, and I cannot really thank everybody individually at the moment, but I will have time to thank everybody individually,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The former Vice President reserved special praise for members of parliament who backed his candidacy, describing their support as \u201cphenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MPs, I must say, who have stood by my side have been phenomenal in this contest. They\u2019ve really supported, and they\u2019ve delivered what they promised to do. I want to thank all the members of parliament who supported me,\u201d Dr Bawumia noted.<\/p>\n

He also extended appreciation to party executives who helped organise the election, the Electoral Commission, security personnel, and the media for their respective roles in ensuring a smooth electoral process.<\/p>\n

Dr Bawumia\u2019s remarks came as provisional results from across the country showed him maintaining a commanding lead over his four opponents: businessman Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Food and Agriculture Minister Dr Bryan Acheampong, former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.<\/p>\n

Over 211,000 delegates cast their votes at more than 300 polling centres nationwide in the keenly contested race to determine the party\u2019s flagbearer for future elections.<\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission is expected to officially declare the final results once collation from all polling centres is completed, which is projected to confirm Dr Bawumia as the NPP\u2019s next flag bearer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
