Dr Bawumia stated, \"I reiterate my call for unity and the inclusion of all stakeholders, including those who were not elected, for the task ahead because 2028 will require all hands on deck.\" He further highlighted that the reorganization effort from polling stations to regional levels is a crucial step towards building a strong vehicle to reclaim power in 2028.
