Why It Matters
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been a dominant force in Ghanaian politics, and its 2028 presidential flagbearer is former Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. In the lead‑up to the election, critics have questioned the party’s inclusivity, suggesting it is rooted in Akan and Christian identities. Addressing these perceptions is crucial for broadening the party’s appeal, fostering national unity, and potentially influencing voter turnout and election outcomes.
