In the final stretch before Saturday’s New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries, one name is resonating most strongly among delegates across the country – Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. A series of pre-primary polls have reinforced this perception, placing Dr. Bawumia comfortably ahead of his rivals. The data further indicates that Dr. Bawumia is on course to win in at least 14 regions, buoyed by high favourability ratings among grassroots members and party executives alike. “Bawumia represents consistency, competence and the best chance to win back Ghana,” one delegate noted, echoing a widely held sentiment within the party ranks. With rivals trailing in surveys and momentum clearly on his side, the mood among delegates ahead of the January 31, 2026 primaries appears settled.
