Fresh internal conversations within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are reportedly focusing on the choice of a vice-presidential candidate to partner with flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the next general election.

Party strategists are said to favour selecting a running mate from Southern Ghana, particularly from regions such as Ashanti or Central, as part of efforts to preserve the party’s long-standing tradition of geographic balance on the presidential ticket. Observers believe such a move could strengthen nationwide appeal and consolidate support across key constituencies.

Beyond the running mate debate, leaders are also stressing the importance of reconciliation and internal unity following the party’s competitive primaries. Many argue that healing divisions and bringing members together will be crucial to presenting a strong front against the opposition.

The discussions reportedly extend to broader governance priorities, including constitutional reforms, economic management, and infrastructure development, with special attention to road projects aimed at improving connectivity and boosting local economies.

Overall, the party’s leadership appears focused on strengthening internal cohesion while crafting a strategy that positions the NPP competitively for the upcoming polls.
