Abuakwa South secures widest margin for Dr Bawumia in Eastern Region

Abuakwa South, represented by Dr Kingsley Agyemang, recorded the strongest electoral performance for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the Eastern Region during the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries, delivering an emphatic 80.46 per cent victory margin.

The result positions Abuakwa South as the best-performing constituency for DMB in the region, reflecting the depth of grassroots support mobilised in the constituency and a reinforcement of Dr Bawumia’s commanding path to victory as the NPP’s 2028 flagbearer.

Election data from the Eastern Region show that while several constituencies delivered decisive wins for Dr Bawumia, Abuakwa South stood out for both the size and clarity of its endorsement.

The margin surpassed those recorded in other key constituencies such as Nsawam Adoagyiri, Suhum and Akuapem North, making it the most decisive DMB victory in the region.

Political observers attribute the outcome partly to effective constituency-level organisation and leadership, with Dr Kingsley Agyemang playing a central role in galvanising party structures and delegates behind the former vice president’s candidacy.

The result reflects a consolidation of party support in Abuakwa South and signals confidence in Dr Bawumia’s leadership and policy direction ahead of the 2028 general election.

Across the Eastern Region, the primaries highlighted Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s broad appeal within the party, as he emerged victorious in multiple constituencies with comfortable margins.

However, the Abuakwa South result remains the most striking, serving as a symbolic and strategic boost to his campaign.

With Dr Bawumia now confirmed as the NPP’s flagbearer for 2028, the strong showing in Abuakwa South is expected to feature prominently in post-primary assessments, as party leaders turn their attention to unifying the base and preparing for the national contest.

The Eastern Region has traditionally been a stronghold of the NPP, and results such as the 80.46 per cent endorsement from Abuakwa South reinforce the party’s confidence going into the next phase of the electoral cycle.
