Kumasi Oct. 05, GNA – Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Flagbearer of the NPP has called on key stakeholders of the party to leverage their expertise, skills and political capital to drive the party’s reorganization efforts, ensuring that, the NPP enters the 2028 election cycle as a cohesive and formidable force.
Dr Bawumia made the call at a strategic brainstorming session with key stakeholders of the party in the Ashanti, after the successful conclusion of the national executive elections at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
The meeting aimed at laying the groundwork for a victorious 2028 general elections campaign.
The high-level engagement brought together influential figures, including founding members, members of the Council of Patrons, former and current Members of Parliament, Council of Elders, former Chief Executive Officers of state agencies, as well as former Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs).
Dr Keskine Owusu Poku, NPP Ashanti Regional Communications Officer, who briefed the media after the closed-door session described the meeting as highly productive.
He noted that, Dr. Bawumia outlined his overarching vision for the party and detailed how stakeholder expertise would be integrated into policy execution upon winning power in 2028.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that a successful campaign relied on activating support at the grassroots level.
He charged attendees to take full ownership of their respective constituencies and operational bases, warning that, lingering issues of apathy and internal disenchantment must be confronted and resolved immediately to build a well-oiled political machine.
The forum featured a candid, no-holds-barred session, where participants freely raised concerns regarding party structure, grassroot mobilization, and regional strategy.
Dr. Bawumia directly addressed queries and welcomed constructive feedback from the floor.
A key outcome of the engagement was the resolution to institutionalize these consultations.
Dr. Bawumia endorsed a proposal by the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, to make the stakeholder meeting a quarterly fixture.
Under this agreement, the leadership and regional elders will convene every three months to evaluate progress and refine strategy leading up to the 2028 elections.
Earlier in the program, Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah called on party stalwarts to maintain an active interest in organizational affairs.
He urged them to continuously share insights with regional, constituency, and polling station executives to ensure alignment across all levels of the party’s apparatus.
