Dr Bawumia yet to name running mate

Dr Bawumia has not yet announced who will join him on the ticket for the 2028 election. He was re-elected to lead the NPP into that contest following the party's defeat at the 2024 polls, where he partnered Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the former Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, as his vice-presidential candidate.

That pairing was not enough to prevent the NDC from returning to power, and the NPP now looks to rebuild under Bawumia's continued leadership with a fresh campaign structure in view.

Boamah's public declaration places him among the figures positioning themselves for consideration as the party begins its preparations for 2028.
