As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) approaches its highly anticipated presidential primaries, discussions around experience and loyalty within the party have taken center stage. Speaking on Onua TV, Kyei Mensah-Bonsu of Bonsu School emphasized that former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, with over 17 years of dedicated service to the party, is far from being a stranger within NPP ranks.
Mensah-Bonsu, a respected political analyst, addressed claims by some that Bawumia lacks deep roots in the party. “Dr. Bawumia has served the NPP party for more than 17 years, and his contributions to the party’s growth, electoral successes, and policy development are undeniable. To call him a stranger is not only misleading but also ignores his longstanding commitment,” he stated.
He highlighted Bawumia’s role in shaping key economic policies during his tenure as Vice President, noting that his stewardship has contributed significantly to national development and the party’s credibility among Ghanaians. According to Mensah-Bonsu, these contributions reflect a deep alignment with the NPP’s values and objectives, further reinforcing his position as a seasoned party stalwart rather than an outsider.
“Experience matters in politics, especially when it comes to leading a major party like the NPP. Bawumia’s understanding of governance, policy-making, and grassroots mobilization gives him a distinct edge,” he added.

The analyst also pointed out that in party primaries, delegates often prioritize candidates with proven records, loyalty, and the capacity to drive the party forward. He suggested that Bawumia’s years of service, coupled with his national profile and policy achievements, make him a trusted choice for many within the party.
As the NPP flagbearer race intensifies, discussions around loyalty, experience, and credibility are likely to influence delegate decisions. Kyei Mensah-Bonsu’s remarks serve as a reminder of the importance of recognizing long-term contributions to political organizations and the need to evaluate candidates based on their full record of service.
With the January 31, 2026, primaries fast approaching, Bawumia’s history of over 17 years in the NPP is positioned as a compelling testament to his dedication and alignment with the party’s mission.
