The Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has expressed strong confidence that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will reclaim power in the 2028 general elections under the leadership of Mahamudu Bawumia.
“Bawumia Will Win Power for the NPP in 2028”
Speaking in the aftermath of the party’s internal primaries, Afenyo-Markin stated that he holds a firm conviction that Dr. Bawumia remains the NPP’s strongest candidate to lead the party back to government. According to him, the primaries have energized the grassroots and repositioned the party for a renewed political battle ahead of 2028.
He emphasized that internal contests are a normal part of democratic growth and insisted that once the primaries are concluded, unity must take precedence over factional interests.

Call for Unity After Competitive Primaries
The Minority Leader urged party faithful to close ranks and rally behind the former Vice President, noting that internal competition should not create long-term divisions. He described the NPP as a resilient political tradition with a proven track record of bouncing back stronger after challenging moments.
“Our focus must now shift from internal contest to national victory,” he indicated, stressing that discipline, strategic communication, and grassroots mobilization would be crucial in the coming years.
Strategic Positioning for 2028
Political observers believe the NPP’s early endorsement conversations signal a long-term strategy aimed at rebuilding momentum ahead of the next election cycle. Afenyo-Markin’s endorsement is seen as significant, given his influence within Parliament and the party’s leadership structure.
As Ghana’s political landscape begins to recalibrate following the primaries, attention will increasingly turn to how effectively the NPP consolidates its base and expands its appeal to undecided voters.
