Pre-Parliament session briefing: Letβs position ourselves credibly as a party preparing to govern in 2029-Bawumia to Minority.
New Patriotic Party Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has issued a clear and forceful signal to his party's Minority Caucus in Parliament: the period of internal recovery from the 2024 election defeat is over, and the NPP must now present itself to Ghana as a credible government-in-waiting.
Speaking at a pre-Parliament briefing with Minority MPs on the eve of the resumption of the Second Meeting of the Second Session of the Ninth Parliament, Dr. Bawumia told the assembled legislators that the country is watching closely and that the next phase of the NPP's trajectory would be defined by how it conducts itself in the Chamber and beyond.
Dr. Bawumia was emphatic that the Minority must no longer see itself as a wounded party licking its wounds, but as a disciplined parliamentary force ready to lead. He argued that from this session onward, every action taken in the House, every statement made to the press, and every engagement held in constituencies must be guided by a single question in the minds of ordinary Ghanaians: "Can I trust the NPP to run my country again?"
