He supports his viewpoint by noting that no NPP flagbearer has ever won the presidency on their first attempt in the Fourth Republic.
As such, he believes Dr. Bawumia deserves another chance to run.
Annoh-Dompreh expressed his thoughts during a conversation with Bola Ray, emphasizing his respect for Kennedy Agyapong, acknowledging him as a dedicated party member.
However, he reiterated that it would be unfair to dismiss Dr. Bawumia given the party’s tradition of needing multiple attempts to secure the presidency.
“I will support Dr Bawumia. I respect Kennedy; he is a good man, and I think he is a true blue-party person but I think it is most unfair for us to jettison Dr Bawumia. Because in our tradition, nobody has won the presidency at a go,” he stated.
The NPP faced significant losses in the 2024 elections under Dr. Bawumia’s leadership.
As a result, some party members argue that his poor performance warrants a change in leadership for the upcoming 2028 elections.
They feel that a fresh candidate, rather than someone closely associated with Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, would be better positioned to revive the party’s fortunes.
