  "account": "Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the former Vice President and NPP flagbearer for the 2028 presidential election, announced on Saturday that the New Patriotic Party has already begun preparing its governance program ahead of the 2028 general election. Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference in Kumasi, Bawumia emphasized that the party would not wait for the election campaign to start thinking about governance. He revealed that various policy committees have been established and the party is engaging different groups and stakeholders to develop its policy agenda. Bawumia highlighted that the early presidential primaries held as part of the party's reform process allowed them to begin working on their policy agenda even before the election. He also mentioned that the party had taken important lessons from its experience after the December 2024 general election, including better management of structures, communication with the public, and treating grassroots supporters. The NPP president-elect stressed the importance of unity among its members and urged aspirants to accept the outcome of the internal contest and support each other. He assured those who do not win that they would still have a role to play in the party and urged everyone to vote in peace and accept the results.",
