Former Vice President and the newly elected presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, emphasized the importance of using the party’s ongoing national thanksgiving services as a time for prayer and a renewed commitment to serving the country.
The event, which follows his successful election as the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 elections, is not just a celebration of the internal electoral process but a reflection of the party’s shared values and faith.
Addressing a gathering at the National Mosque in Accra on Friday, February 13, Dr. Bawumia reminded NPP members that the thanksgiving service is a time to reflect on God’s guidance throughout the party’s recent internal elections. “We are grateful to God for His guidance and mercies throughout our recent internal processes. Our national conference was a success and our flag-bearership election was incident-free. Without God’s arms wrapped around us, we would not have been successful. Praise be to His name,” Bawumia stated.
The newly elected NPP flagbearer made it clear that the service was not about individual ambition or personal glory. Instead, it should serve as a moment for all members of the party to reflect on the greater cause of nation-building. “Today’s thanksgiving service is not a celebration of personal ambition. It is, for me, a moment to join you all in reflection, prayer, and recommitment to a higher cause—the cause of contributing to the building of a nation that is truly great and strong,” Dr. Bawumia declared.
Dr. Bawumia urged the party’s members to unite and put aside any differences for the greater good. He called for a focus on common goals rather than divisive tendencies, emphasizing the importance of solidarity. “Let us deepen our concentration on what we have in common and put less emphasis on what we differ on,” Bawumia said, stressing that unity within the party will be vital as the nation moves forward.
As he rallied the party’s members to prepare for the upcoming 2028 elections, Dr. Bawumia reminded them that the road ahead would require discipline, sacrifice, and hard work. He urged them to approach the election with humility and a clear purpose. “Victory in 2028 will not be gifted to us. It must be earned, constituency by constituency, household by household,” Bawumia said, setting the tone for the challenges ahead.
