Former Member of Parliament for Kade and campaign manager for Kwabena Agyepong in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary, Ofosu Asamoah, has formally declared his support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Mr. Asamoah announced his endorsement during a campaign event, marking his first public appearance alongside Dr. Bawumia since shifting his allegiance.

He explained that his decision followed a careful reassessment of the party’s internal contest and a firm belief that Dr. Bawumia represents the NPP’s strongest path to reclaiming power in the 2028 general elections.

Addressing delegates, he said, aligning with Dr. Bawumia was both a strategic and principled choice.

“I am still the same Ofosu Asamoah, you know. My connection with Dr. Bawumia and his team isn’t new; I simply chose not to back him earlier this year. But sometimes in life, you recognise that a change is necessary,” he stated.

“Having observed the campaign closely as Kwabena Agyepong’s manager, I feel things haven’t gone as planned.

That’s why I am now joining Dr. Bawumia’s team, whom I believe is destined to be the next president.”

Mr. Asamoah’s endorsement is widely seen as a significant boost to Dr. Bawumia’s effort to consolidate support within the NPP as the party prepares for its presidential primary on January 31, 2026.
