Put me on NPP’s frontline in 2028 and I’ll unleash ‘pure fire’ on NDC – Mustapha Hamid 

Aspiring First National Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has pledged to lead the party’s charge against the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2028 general elections.

He said the NPP needs experienced and versatile leaders who can mobilise different sections of the Ghanaian population and strengthen the party’s chances of returning to power.

Speaking on Wednesday, August 26, when he filed his nomination forms at the party’s headquarters, Abdul-Hamid said he possesses the networks and experience required to serve as a unifying figure and effective campaigner for the party.

“I want this party to put me in the front lines in 2028, and I shall spit pure fire towards the NDC. That’s what I represent,” he said.

The former CEO of the National Petroleum Authority said his political reach cuts across settler communities, Zongo communities, the media, the intellectual class and the youth.

He argued that these connections would make him an effective vice chairman capable of helping the party build a broad coalition ahead of the 2028 election.

“I carry everything that this party wants for 2028. I carry settler communities, Zongo communities, media people, the intellectual class and the youth of this country,” he said.

The former Minister for Inner-City and Zongo Development described himself as a “utility player”, drawing an analogy from football to emphasise his versatility.

He said he could perform effectively in different roles depending on what the party requires.
