Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has expressed confidence in his bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after appearing before the party’s vetting committee in Accra on Tuesday, September 23.

Speaking to journalists after his vetting, Dr. Bawumia described the session as both thorough and productive.

“We have had very fruitful discussions. They have asked many questions, and I have answered those questions. So I am very satisfied with my vetting, and I pray that everything is okay. I hope the committee is as satisfied as I am,” he said.

Dr. Bawumia expressed gratitude to party members and supporters, stressing the importance of continued engagement with delegates as the internal contest intensifies.

“I want to thank the rank and file of this party, and I think that from vetting we are heading straight into the country to campaign,” he noted.

He further underscored that despite his status as former Vice President, he and his campaign team were not taking anything for granted.

“We are not taking anything for granted. We have to campaign, sell our ideas and sell the NPP so that we can secure this nomination and proceed for the 2028 election,” Dr. Bawumia added.
