Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s momentum in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries continued on Tuesday December 23, 2025, with fresh endorsements from the Greater Accra Region.

On the second day of his tour of the region, the wave of declarations that began on Monday continued, with electoral area coordinators in two constituencies publicly endorsing him as their preferred candidate.

In Ashaiman, where Dr Bawumia was accorded an electrifying welcome, 21 out of the 32 electoral area coordinators in the constituency declared their unflinching support for him.

The Ashaiman coordinators explained that their decision followed consultations with polling station executives, who indicated that Dr Bawumia was their preferred choice.

Later in Tema East, another emphatic declaration was made in support of Dr Bawumia, with 23 out of the 24 polling station executives in the constituency announcing their endorsement.

“We are here as coordinators to declare our unflinching support for you, Your Excellency, the former Vice President and the incoming President in 2025, Insha’Allah,” the coordinators said.

They explained that although the constituency previously had 25 coordinators, one had passed away, while another chose not to align with the group, leaving the remaining 23 united in their support for Dr Bawumia.

The coordinators added that their decision reflected the will of their polling station executives following extensive consultations.

“We consulted our polling station executives, and they gave us their choice. You asked us where to go, and we cannot disappoint you. That is why we are here today to declare our support for Dr. Bawumia,” they stated.

They further assured Dr Bawumia that Tema East was a “no-go area” for other aspirants.

Following the declaration of support, the Tema East Constituency executives declined to allow Dr Bawumia to campaign further in the area, insisting that they had already made up their minds to vote for him and that there was no need for additional campaigning.

Dr Bawumia, who is widely tipped to win the NPP primaries, has been receiving a steady wave of endorsements from electoral area coordinators across constituencies nationwide.

Within the NPP’s electoral college, electoral area coordinators are regarded as critical links between the party and polling station executives, as they work closely together at the grassroots level.

As such, their declarations are often viewed as reflecting the collective views of polling station executives.
