The Eastern Vultures, a pro–New Patriotic Party (NPP) political group in the Eastern Region, have congratulated Mahamudu Bawumia on his decisive victory in the party’s recently concluded presidential elections.

In a statement issued on February 3, 2026, the group described the outcome as a clear endorsement of Dr. Bawumia’s leadership credentials, competence, and commitment to the core values of the New Patriotic Party.

According to the Eastern Vultures, the result reflects renewed confidence among party members and signals a fresh mandate to steer the NPP toward innovation, unity, and effective governance.

The group said the party is now better positioned to reorganise and mobilise ahead of the 2028 general elections, expressing optimism that Dr. Bawumia’s leadership will help the NPP reclaim political power.

They highlighted priorities including sound economic management, digital transformation, inclusive development, and expanded opportunities for young people.

The Eastern Vultures also commended the other presidential aspirants—Yaw Osei Adutwum, Bryan Acheampong, Kennedy Agyapong, and Kwabena Agyei Agyapong—for what they described as maturity, patriotism, and respect for internal party democracy throughout the process.

They noted that the peaceful and transparent conduct of the elections further reinforced the NPP’s reputation as a well-organised and democratic political party, crediting the party leadership and the Presidential Elections Committee for a credible process.

Reaffirming their loyalty, the Eastern Vultures pledged to work actively at all levels of the party to mobilise support and energise the grassroots ahead of the 2028 polls, saying they remain committed to contributing to an eventual electoral victory.

EASTERN VULTURES CONGRATULATE H.E. DR. MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA

The leadership and entire membership of the Eastern Vultures (Pro–New Patriotic Party Group in the Eastern Region) proudly and wholeheartedly extend our warmest congratulations to His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on his emphatic and well-deserved victory in the just ended NPP Presidential Elections.

This victory is a collective affirmation of the confidence reposed in Dr. Bawumia’s visionary leadership, sterling competence, and commitment to the values and progressive ideals of the New Patriotic Party. It represents a reinvigorated mandate from the rank and file of our party to lead the NPP into a new era of hope, innovation, and transformational governance.

As a formidable and disciplined political force, the NPP now stands united, hopeful, re-energised, and strategically positioned to reclaim political power from the incompetent NDC administration in the 2028 general elections. With Dr. Bawumia at the helm, we are confident that the NPP will present a compelling alternative anchored on sound economic management, digital transformation, inclusive development, and opportunities for all Ghanaians, especially the youth.

We also commend and congratulate all other aspirants, especially Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Hon. Bryan Acheampong, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and Engineer Kwabena Agyapong, who participated in this keenly contested election, for their maturity, patriotism, and respect for party democracy. Their conduct before, during, and after the process has once again reinforced the NPP’s enviable reputation as the most democratic, transparent, and well-organised political party in Ghana.

The peaceful, free, fair, and credible nature of the elections is a testament to the effective leadership of the party and the professionalism of the Presidential Elections Committee. It reflects the NPP’s firm belief that internal democracy is the pillar of national democratic consolidation.

As Eastern Vultures, we reaffirm our unalloyed loyalty, commitment, and readiness to work tirelessly at all levels to ensure a resounding victory for the NPP in 2028. We are fully prepared to organise and energise the base to deliver victory and restore hope to the Ghanaian people.

God bless His Excellency Dr. Bawumia.
God bless the New Patriotic Party.
God bless Ghana.
