Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Thursday, October 23, after he and 62 Minority MPs officially declared their support for Dr. Bawumia, he emphasised that the endorsement was not based on sentiment but on a rigorous assessment of leadership qualities across the party.

“We have worked with Hon. Bryan Acheampong, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Yaw Adutwum, and Mr. Kwabena Agyepong. We have seen them, we have weighed their capacity and their likelihood of capturing political power for the NPP,” Tampuli stated.

“In all humility, we do not make judgments in a vacuum. We have weighed their strengths and weaknesses, and we believe Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the best person to lead us to the promised land.”

Tampuli’s remarks echoed the broader sentiment expressed by the group of MPs, who praised Bawumia’s discipline, resilience, and vision for Ghana. Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, MP for Mampong, speaking on behalf of the caucus, described Bawumia as the embodiment of the NPP’s next phase—one rooted in competence, innovation, and unity.

Adding a touch of metaphor, Tampuli likened Bawumia to household brands known for their reliability and appeal. “Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is our Omo, he is our Pepsodent. He is the one we have marketed more,” he said, underscoring the former Vice President’s visibility and resonance with the Ghanaian electorate.

The MPs urged party delegates to rally behind Bawumia, citing his proven track record and ability to unify the party and inspire national confidence. With the 2028 elections on the horizon, the endorsement signals a strong internal push for continuity and renewal within the NPP.
