Politics is about preparation and context, and it is important to build at the right moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tampuli stressed that former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia remains the best-placed individual to lead the NPP at this time, pointing to his extensive grassroots engagement across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr Bawumia has been to every constituency in Ghana for over five years. That experience and connection with the base make him the better person to lead the party now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
