The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has been formally informed of former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia’s election as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer for the 2028 presidential election.
The notification was delivered by the Ashanti Regional Campaign team, led by Dr. Kwame Ayew Afriyie, Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore, during the first Akwasidae festival of the year on Sunday.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Afriyie acknowledged the role of the Asantehene’s blessings in the party’s electoral process.
“Yesterday, NPP went to the polls and elected his son,” he said, referring to Bawumia.
The former vice president is expected to visit the Manhyia Palace after the king returns from his planned leave.
Bawumia won the NPP presidential primary on 31 January, securing 110,643 votes, or 56.48 percent of the total valid ballots.
He defeated notable contenders, including former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, former Agriculture Minister Dr. Bryan Acheampong, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
The campaign team also sought the Asantehene’s blessings to guide their activities for the coming year.
