Some NPP members believe they will lose the 2028 elections with Bawumia – Ebo Buckman alleges
A leading member of the Movement for Change, Ebo Buckman, has alleged that some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) believe the party will lose the 2028 general elections if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia becomes their presidential candidate.
Speaking in an interview with TV3, Mr. Buckman said Dr. Bawumia often distanced himself from the failures of the Akufo-Addo government even though the presidency was a joint ticket.
According to him, while many Ghanaians see President Akufo-Addo as the worst-performing president in the country’s history, Dr. Bawumia has been claiming he is Ghana’s best vice president.
“I don’t see how this is possible. If the president is the worst, then the vice president cannot claim to be the best. They both failed together,” Mr. Buckman argued.
He accused Dr. Bawumia of making false claims, including taking credit for the introduction of mobile money interoperability.
He said it was misleading for Bawumia to suggest Ghana was the first country to implement it, explaining that Tanzania had already launched such a system in 2014.
Mr. Buckman reminded Ghanaians of the unfulfilled promise of an airport and a harbour for the people of Cape Coast, saying those projects had not materialised despite the vice president’s assurances.
He further alleged that the NPP’s internal processes were being manipulated in favour of Dr. Bawumia.
However, he maintained that this would not worry some people since, in his view, the NPP had no realistic chance of winning the 2028 elections based on its recent performance.
According to him, the upcoming elections should be about competence, character, and credibility rather than just political parties.
He added that Mr. Alan Kyerematen was a far better candidate compared to others in the race.
Mr. Buckman revealed that a new political party was preparing to present itself as an alternative, insisting that many NPP members who lose out at congress would eventually join this group.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, yesterday April 14, 2026, promoted seven officers of the Tema Regional Police Command to their next ranks for their role in a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The promotions were awarded to officers who responded to a robbery attack on a Mobile Money vendor at Tema Community 5 leading to the shooting of two robbery suspects and the recovery of a firearm, ammunition, and other exhibits.
The officers promoted are Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer, Inspector Gershon Dekpey; Inspector Prince Asante; No. 45881 Sergeant Lukman Mohammed; No. 49900 Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru; No. 54157 Corporal Jerome Akator; and No. 59882 Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah.
