Former Fisheries Minister Mavis Hawa Koomson has issued a powerful call for unity within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as she announces her bid for the Women's Organiser position, emphasizing the need for party cohesion ahead of the 2028 elections.

Strategic Push for Party Unity

Speaking at a recent function in the UK, Koomson, who previously served as MP for Awutu Senya East, emphasized the critical importance of post-primary unity. Her message aligns with broader discussions about Ghana's political stability and development.

"We must not wait for the election. After our presidential primaries, I believe we will all come together to work for victory in 2028. We must also pray for the party to bounce back from its current struggles," Koomson stated.

Leadership Transition and Party Reform

The NPP's upcoming leadership changes mirror Ghana's evolving political and business landscape, with the party setting January 31, 2026, for its presidential primary. Five prominent party members have already submitted their nominations for the flagbearer position.

Key Timeline Events:

  • Presidential primary scheduled for January 2026
  • National Delegates Conference to follow flagbearer selection
  • New executive selection for 2028 election preparation

Reform and Accountability Focus

Koomson's leadership bid comes at a time when institutional accountability and reform are increasingly important in Ghanaian politics. Her campaign emphasizes transparent leadership and inclusive party structures.

Former Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who recently filed his nomination forms, echoed similar sentiments about party unity and preservation of NPP's legacy as a major political force in Ghana.
