Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia appears to be the clear frontrunner in the race for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2028 presidential flagbearer slot, according to new data from the African Policy Lens (APL), a policy research and analysis organization.

The group’s post-election survey showed that Dr. Bawumia commands majority support in 12 out of Ghana’s 16 regions, marking a strong national footprint ahead of the party’s internal selection process.
