Dr. Bawumia to Launch Nationwide Tour as NPP Flagbearer Campaign Kicks Off

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will formally commence his national campaign tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15, 2025, as he seeks the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer position. His schedule includes a comprehensive tour across all 276 constituencies in Ghana, signaling a full-throttle effort to build grassroots support.

The campaign will feature interactive rallies, townhall meetings, and engagements with local party executives and key stakeholders. Sources close to the campaign indicate Bawumia’s team has laid out a structured itinerary that prioritizes swing constituencies and regions seen as pivotal in the upcoming internal elections.

This launch comes ahead of the NPP’s scheduled flagbearer election, where delegates from constituencies across the country will vote to pick the party’s presidential candidate for the next general election. Bawumia will compete with other prominent NPP figures who have already begun mobilization efforts.

Observers suggest the nationwide tour is more than symbolic — it aims to showcase Bawumia’s readiness to govern, his connection with grassroots members, and his ability to unify varied interest groups within the party. His background as Vice President, coupled with prior campaign experience, positions him as one of the frontrunners in the contest.

Supporters are optimistic that the tour will bolster his appeal, especially in constituencies where his previous influence may have lagged. Critics, however, warn that the sheer scale of the exercise poses logistical challenges, and any misstep could be magnified.

In the coming days, attention will focus on turnout at his rallies, the messages he emphasizes (economy, unity, development), and how well he addresses intra-party concerns and rival candidates. The campaign’s early momentum might prove decisive, as first impressions tend to carry lasting weight in internal party contests.
