Here’s a political development that’s turning heads: the Damongo constituency has thrown its full weight behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) gears up to choose its next flagbearer on January 31, 2026. But here’s where it gets intriguing—this isn’t just a casual endorsement; it’s a unanimous declaration from all twelve Electoral Area Coordinators, backed by their Member of Parliament, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor. This level of grassroots unity is rare in politics, and it’s raising eyebrows across the party.
Dr. Bawumia, the former Vice President, is no stranger to the spotlight, but this endorsement highlights something deeper: his ability to inspire confidence with his leadership, forward-thinking policies, and dedication to inclusive national development. The coordinators didn’t hold back in their praise, stating, ‘The simplest message we are putting before you this evening is that we, the twelve Electoral Area Coordinators, with the support of our MP, Hon. Samuel A Jinapor, are declaring our unflinching support for you.’ They even went as far as promising 100% of the Damongo constituency’s votes—a bold claim that underscores their faith in his vision.
And this is the part most people miss—the Damongo endorsement isn’t just about high-level support. It’s a testament to Dr. Bawumia’s ability to align polling station and electoral area leadership, often considered the backbone of any successful campaign. This grassroots alignment is crucial, as it suggests his message is resonating deeply with the party’s base, positioning him as a formidable contender in the NPP flagbearer race.
Hon. Jinapor added his voice to the chorus of support, highlighting Dr. Bawumia’s clean public record, national appeal, and unique talent for uniting the party while attracting undecided voters. These qualities, Jinapor argued, make Dr. Bawumia the ideal candidate to not only consolidate the NPP’s past achievements but also chart a bold new course for the future.
Here’s the controversial question: Does this endorsement guarantee Dr. Bawumia the flagbearer position, or is it too early to call? While the Damongo constituency’s support is significant, the NPP’s internal dynamics are complex, and other contenders are equally determined. What’s your take? Is Dr. Bawumia the right choice to lead the NPP forward, or do you see another candidate emerging victorious? Let’s spark a debate in the comments—your voice matters!
