Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is hopeful about the party's prospects of winning the majority of orphan seats following the successful parliamentary primaries held for those constituencies.

The NPP organized parliamentary candidate elections for 111 orphan constituencies, and the process unfolded smoothly across Ghana on Saturday, with a generally peaceful atmosphere prevailing during the primaries.

Following the internal contest, Dr Bawumia in a Facebook post, wrote, "I am very impressed by the quality of candidates chosen to represent our party in these constituencies… I am confident that we will succeed in securing these seats through our sustained unity and collective efforts."

He encouraged the party to uphold determination and unity as they approach the 2024 elections.

"With great determination and a collective working spirit, we are going to win a majority of these orphan seats during the 2024 general election. To keep our momentum and to accomplish victory, we need to stay united from the grassroots down to the highest levels of leadership," Dr Bawumia added.
