Dr. Bawumia is the only candidate NDC fears most– Isaq Ibrahim Esq., Law Lecturer, UPSA
A law lecturer at the University of Professional Studies Accra UPSA, Isaq Ibrahim, has claimed that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is the candidate the National Democratic Congress NDC fears most ahead of the New Patriotic Party flagbearer race.
According to him, this fear explains why the NDC appears to favour Kennedy Agyapong emerging as the NPP’s presidential candidate.
Mr Ibrahim made the remarks while appealing to NPP delegates to vote for Dr Bawumia as the party’s flagbearer.
He described Dr Bawumia as the strongest among the aspirants and the party’s best chance of winning political power in the 2028 general election.
Mr Ibrahim expressed confidence that the party’s delegates would make the right choice when they go to vote, stressing that Dr Bawumia has already been marketed across all 276 constituencies.
He noted that the party has no difficulty selling Dr Bawumia to voters and can do so again ahead of the next election.
According to him, if he had a vote, he would have cast it for Dr Bawumia, but since he does not, he could only appeal to delegates to support the former Vice President.
He warned that choosing any other candidate could weaken the party’s chances in 2028.
Mr Ibrahim argued that some of the other aspirants have past statements and issues that could be used against them by the NDC during the campaign.
He claimed that the ruling party is waiting for the NPP to make a mistake by electing a candidate whose past actions or comments could damage the party.
He therefore urged delegates to be careful and avoid choices that could undermine the party’s chances of returning to power.
According to him, selecting Dr Bawumia would give the NPP the best opportunity to win the 2028 elections and avoid internal and external setbacks.
