Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has formally congratulated Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on winning the flagbearer election held on January 31, 2026.
Speaking at the official announcement of Dr Bawumia as flagbearer, Mr Agyapong urged his supporters to accept the outcome of the election in good faith.
” In every election, you win or you lose. Let’s work together to win the 2028 election,” he said at the party’s headquarters.
He added, ” I pledge my support [to Bawumia] and accept the results. We need unity in the party. But unity comes with respect for each other’s views.”
Earlier, while speaking at his campaign headquarters, Mr Agyapong threw in the towel after it has become clear that Dr Bawumia’s lead cannot be surmounted.
” Don’t worry, God will take care of you. He knew this date will come. We experienced this in 2023. Stay calm,” he said.
Earlier, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia expressed gratitude to all who supported his campaign.
Mr Opare-Ansah had said that, “your excellency, from what i have presented so far, it can only get better and you are cruising to a comfortable lead.”
This was greeted with loud cheers and singing of the party songs and chanting of “It is Bawumia, No Change.”
Addressing the gathering, Dr Bawumia said, “it is an honour to stand on the shoulders of former flagbearers like Prof Adu Boahene, JA Kuffuor and Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo. I thank you all for making this happen.”
