  "account": "Former Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2028 elections, has been urged by the Bono Regional Council of Elders to ensure that the party's parliamentary primaries are free of vote-buying, gift-sharing, and favoritism. The party's determination to win and regain political power rests on identifying winnable parliamentary candidates, regardless of their financial status, according to Yaw Dabie Appiah Mensah, a member of the council. The newly elected national, regional, constituency, and polling station executives are reminded that their elections go beyond political position and they are elected to address the challenges that led to the NPP's defeat in the 2024 elections. Mensah, who emphasized that vote-buying and favoritism in NPP parliamentary primaries have been significant setbacks, highlighted that Bawumia and his national, regional, and constituency executives must present the electorate's choice as candidates in the 2028 election, rather than those who can influence delegates due to their wealth. The hope in the newly elected NPP national executives is higher, with the conviction that they, along with Bawumia, can wrestle political power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Mensah called on candidates who lost in the recent national, regional, and constituency elections to prioritize the supreme interest of the NPP over personal political ambitions and contribute towards making the NPP more appealing to floating voters to enhance its chances of winning the 2028 General Election.",
