The NPP has scheduled its presidential primary for January 31, 2026. The winner of the internal party contest would become the NPP's Presidential Candidate in the 2028 general elections.

According to Mahama Maame, she does not have faith in the former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. She explained that Dr Bawumia's visit to other religious sanctuaries like the church and shrine makes her uncomfortable as a Muslim.

"Dr Bawumia has been to Mecca several times and also to the shrine. Because of that, I don't have faith in him."

However, the woman said she loves Kennedy Agyapong and would vote for him if he wins the presidential primary.

"I have faith in Kennedy Agyapong. I love him so much. I'm a member of the NDC, and I have all the NDC souvenirs on display in my room. However, if Kennedy Agyapong wins the NPP primary, I will vote for him over the NPP. It is not just me; one of my children also loves Kennedy Agyapong."
