Bawumia Urges NPP Aspirants to Accept Election Results and Unite After Delegates Conference

Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on all aspirants contesting the party’s national executive positions to accept the outcome of the National Delegates Conference and work together to strengthen the party.

Speaking at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026, during the party’s National Delegates Conference and Officers’ elections, Dr Bawumia urged candidates who emerge victorious to reach out to their opponents, and encouraged those who do not win to support the newly elected national executives.

He emphasised that the contests should be viewed as an internal process aimed at selecting leaders to advance the broader interests of the party, rather than a source of lasting division.

Dr Bawumia stressed that once voting ends, campaigning must also end, and all aspirants should redirect their focus toward the collective objectives of the NPP.

“This is just an internal contest to select a few from well‑qualified aspirants to serve our party’s collective and ultimate objective of winning back the trust of the people to serve our motherland better. Therefore, when the voting is done today, the contest must also end.

“To those who win, the first hug and call you make should be to your fellow aspirants. And to those who do not win, I want to firmly assure all of you that this party still needs you and will still need you. There is work for all of us to do. Let us vote in peace, accept the results in good faith, and leave Kumasi as one family.”
