The Bono East Regional Coordinator for Kennedy Agyapong's campaign during the 2026 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries Dr. Stephen Appiagyei Donkor, has declared his support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of the party's preparations for the 2028 general elections.

Dr. Appiagyei Donkor, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of GIFAS Group of Companies and Managing Director of GLOBE TV, made the declaration when he paid a courtesy call on Dr. Bawumia on Friday, June 26, 2026.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Appiagyei Donkor stressed that the NPP's success in the 2028 elections would depend on unity and reconciliation among party members following the internal presidential contest.

"What the NPP needs now is total unity and cohesion to prosecute the 2028 agenda," he said. "The primaries are behind us, and it is time for all of us to work together as one family. Our collective interest must be the victory of the party in the next general election."

He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting Dr. Bawumia's presidential bid, emphasizing that party unity should take precedence over individual interests.

"I am fully committed to supporting Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia because I believe this is the moment for all party faithful to put aside our differences and unite behind a common purpose. Together, we can build a stronger NPP and secure victory in 2028," Dr. Appiagyei Donkor stated.

Responding to the gesture, Dr. Bawumia expressed appreciation for the visit and welcomed the pledge of support, describing it as an example of the unity the party needs moving forward.

"I love people like Dr. Stephen Appiagyei Donkor who have the party at heart," Dr. Bawumia said. "When we place the interest of the NPP above personal ambitions, we become a stronger force capable of winning the confidence of Ghanaians."

He also urged party members and campaign teams to conduct their political activities with respect and maturity, warning against personal attacks that could weaken the party ahead of the 2028 elections.

"I encourage you to prosecute your campaign without acrimony or insults. We should engage one another with dignity because bitterness and personal attacks have the potential to destroy the unity of our party. Let us focus on issues and work together for the progress of the NPP," Dr. Bawumia advised.

The meeting is expected to reinforce ongoing efforts within the NPP to foster reconciliation and strengthen party cohesion as it begins preparations for the 2028 general elections.
