Awal Mohammed, a Communications Aide to the campaign team of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said the former vice president is not corrupt.
According to Awal Mohammed, there is no single scandal against Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
He further described Dr Bawumia as the NPP’s most marketed and most formidable candidate going into the 2028 elections.
Speaking on The Verdict on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, Awal Mohammed stated, “Team Bawumia are focused on an issue-based campaign, and we believe he is the most marketed and most formidable candidate going into the 2028 elections,” he said.
He added, “Dr Bawumia is the most popular candidate in the country; he is the most prepared. In terms of governance, he has the experience and is ready to ascend the high office as President of Ghana.”
“Dr Bryan Acheampong lost the Suhum seat in 2012 due to financial constraints, hence he should not claim he financed the party prior to the 2024 election,” he asserted.
“No single person in Bawumia’s camp has issues with anyone who has endorsed any of the flagbearer hopefuls,” he noted.
He further added, “Team Bawumia have never issued a statement on the two MPs who endorsed Bryan Acheampong; it is within their constitutional right. Bryan Acheampong berated the 15 MPs in the Eastern Region who have endorsed Dr Bawumia”.
“Dr Bawumia is not corrupt, and there is no single scandal against him,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, a latest poll by the Global Info Analytics has revealed Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President, has taken a commanding lead in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries.
The poll results published on social media platforms by the Global Info Analytics revealed that Dr Bawumia secured 47 per cent of delegate support and is the clear front-runner ahead of the NPP’s primaries.
Dr Bawumia continues to enjoy the confidence of nearly half of the delegates surveyed.

Dr Bryan Acheampong secured only 3 per cent of delegates’ votes, while Dr Yaw Adutwum and Ing Kwabena Agyapong secured 1 per cent of delegates’ votes respectively.
However, the poll revealed that a significant number of delegates, 27 per cent, remain undecided.
Also, the poll revealed 57 per cent of Ghanaians prefer former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to lead the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the next general election.
Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said his team are not taking anything for granted.
Speaking to journalists after his vetting, Dr Bawumia emphasised that they are going to campaign to sell their ideas and sell the NPP to secure his bid as presidential candidate of the NPP.
Dr Bawumia further expressed satisfaction with his vetting and hopes the committee is satisfied with his answers.
The NPP aspirant stated, “We have had very fruitful discussions. They have asked many questions, and I have answered those questions. So I am very satisfied with my vetting, and I pray that everything is okay. I hope the committee is as satisfied as I am”.
“I want to thank the rank and file of this party, and I think that from vetting we are heading straight into the country to campaign,” he noted.
Dr Bawumia added, “We are not taking anything for granted. We have to campaign, sell our ideas and sell the NPP so that we can secure this nomination and proceed for the 2028 election”.
