The Member of Parliament for Karaga and former Minister of Finance Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam has responded to claims that the strong support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia enjoys in Northern Ghana is because of ‘blind loyalty’.
Speaking during campaign activities of Dr Bawumia in Yagaba-Kubori , Dr. Amin Adam said assertions that Dr. Bawumia’s popularity in the North is based on regional or ethnic considerations are misplaced.
“Northerners have been told that we are blindly following Dr. Bawumia. I want them to know that we are not blind—we can see clearly,” he said.
Dr. Amin Adam insisted that NPP politicians in the North are backing Dr. Bawumia based on competence and character, not hometown ties.
According to the Karaga MP, what leaders in the region see in Dr. Bawumia is a leader with the experience, integrity, and vision to govern Ghana.
“When we look at Dr. Bawumia, we see a competent man, a humble man, and a truthful man. We see a President,” he stated.
The NPP is expected to elect its presidential candidate on January 31, 2026, as part of preparations for the next general elections.
Dr. Bawumia is among five contenders seeking the party’s flagbearer position. He faces competition from former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong; former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong; former Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum; and former NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong.
