Dr. Bawumia confers with KAS Secretary-General; discusses Ghana’s future and NPP reorganisation

Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia met with Dr. Mark Speich, Secretary-General of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) in Accra on Thursday. KAS is a prominent political foundation affiliated with Germany and the NPP. The meeting centered on the political landscape of Ghana and efforts to reorganize the New Patriotic Party.

Dr. Bawumia reaffirmed his commitment to rebuilding the NPP, revealing that substantial steps have been taken over the past two years to strengthen the party’s internal structures. These steps aim to make the NPP more responsive to the needs of ordinary Ghanaians. He also informed KAS about the progress of two key party projects, the Patriotic Institute and the Policy Unit.

Both initiatives, which are of great personal importance to Dr. Bawumia, aim to cultivate future political leadership, encourage youth involvement in public service, and ensure that NPP policies are well-founded, financially viable, and feasible. His ultimate goal is to transform the NPP into a more inclusive, intellectually stimulating, and policy-focused party, capable of driving Ghana’s sustainable development.

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, connected to Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has long collaborated with the NPP to support programs in democratic governance, institutional enhancement, and policy formulation. Thursday’s conversation is part of a larger series of consultations that Dr. Bawumia is conducting with international partners and local stakeholders as part of the NPP’s reorganization efforts preceding the 2028 elections.
