This decision was made public during Kodua's campaign tour on August 25, 2026, in Winneba, Effutu Constituency. Led by Cecilia Esi Arhin-Gyan, the women highlighted Kodua's dedication, honesty, and efforts to reform the party's structures and empower grassroots women. They asserted that his work has benefited them, and they believe that retaining him will bolster the NPP's rebuilding initiatives and enable collaboration with party leader Dr Mahamudu Bawumia before the 2028 general elections. The Central Region women also conveyed their solidarity with Bono Region women who have already endorsed Kodua, pledging their active participation in his campaign to secure a significant victory in Kumasi on October 3, 2026. This endorsement underscores the growing momentum behind Kodua's campaign, which emphasizes his readiness, strategic positioning, and commitment to rebuilding the NPP for electoral success in 2028.",
