"My husband will win 2028 elections, he's the only one NPP can trust to show NDC pepper" - Samira Bawumia

Samira Bawumia has appealed to delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind her husband, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as the party prepares for its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.

Speaking about the future of the NPP, Samira expressed her firm belief that her husband remains the party’s best hope of reclaiming power in the 2028 general elections.

“We need somebody who will win us the next election, and I'm convinced and have faith that the only person who can win the next elections in 2028 is Dr Mahamudu Bawumia,” she declared in a video shared on social media. 

“During the campaigns ahead of the 2024 election, we said ‘breaking the eight’ because it had never happened before that a particular party governs for eight years and continues after another election."

"So the odds were against us, but we fought gallantly. It didn't go how we wanted, but the history of governance in Ghana shows us that you don't win the election on your first attempt,” she added.

Samira further urged party delegates to consider the long-term future of the NPP when casting their votes, cautioning against decisions that could derail the party’s progress.

“This flagbearership race is about our future. We should not allow someone to destroy our destiny,” she emphasized.
