In an explosive development that threatens to send shockwaves through Ghana’s political landscape, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President is reportedly on the verge of a sensational exit from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Inside sources reveal that Dr. Bawumia has expressed his discomfort with the escalating internal confusions and pressures that tend to have threatening to tear the party apart, especially as the party prepares for its Congress to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
According to highly placed sources close to the NPP headquarters, the former Vice President has registered his deep disappointment over how some leading figures within the party including several of the flagbearer hopefuls have subjected him to a daily barrage of personal attacks.
These relentless assaults described as increasingly vitriolic have reportedly pushed Dr. Bawumia to a breaking point.
Despite having already submitted his nomination forms to contest the upcoming flagbearer race, Dr. Bawumia is alleged to have held a crucial meeting with the National Executives where he conveyed his serious intentions to resign from the NPP.
The sources indicated that Dr. Bawumia found the level of “attacks and disgrace to be intolerable and, after extensive consultations with his loyal supporters and close family members they concluded that resignation was the necessary step.
The primary motivation behind this drastic decision, according to the sources, is to preserve Dr Mahamoud Bawumia reputation as a statesman and, notably as a former Vice president of Ghana.
Dr. Bawumia reportedly feels that continuing under such a hostile internal environment would ultimately compromise his integrity and public standing.
The critical question of whether Dr. Bawumia has formally submitted his resignation letter and whether it has been accepted by the party remains a matter of intense speculation among insiders who are eagerly awaiting official confirmation.
This potential departure of a key figure could drastically alter the dynamics of the NPP’s flagbearer race and cast a long shadow over its prospects for the 2028 elections.
The political landscape of Ghana hangs in suspense as the nation awaits the next chapter in this unfolding saga.
