About Governor

Abdul Rauf Sulemana — Governor — in a formal portrait

Husband, father, community development advocate

Abdul Rauf Sulemana is a native of Kumbungu in the Kumbungu District of Ghana. He completed his basic education in Kumbungu and proceeded to Business Senior High School (BISCO) for his secondary education. He then pursued a Diploma in Procurement and Supply Chain Management at Sunyani Polytechnic (now Sunyani Technical University).

He also holds a MSc in Procurement and Logistics Management from the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), BSc in Procurement and Logistics Management from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)

Desire to make a difference

Governor served as the foundation President of the Departmental Students Association for Purchasing and Supply. He later contested for the position of SRC President and, after a rigorous vetting process, emerged as the best candidate, though he did not win the election.

Governor believes in servant leadership. Putting people first, unlocking potential, ensuring equal opportunity, and building habitable communities through effective governance.

The man for the people

As Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Governor's vision is to:

  • Build strong local and international partnerships that benefit communities.
  • Create meaningful job opportunities for youth and empower women through vocational training and startup support.
  • Improve education, sanitation, and healthcare access.
  • Establish processing plants to reduce post-harvest losses in Kumbungu.
  • Promote “Youth in Agriculture” through a pre-school agriculture program that trains young farmers, provides fertilizers and seedlings, and builds practical farming skills.

The leader of the people

Growing up in Kumbungu gave Governor a first-hand view of the gap between what is promised to Ghanaians and what actually reaches the North. While studying and working in Accra and Kumasi, he watched peers from the south access opportunities his community could only dream of — better schools, better roads, better jobs.

Attending school in and working in the south, Governor realised that his people back home lack the equal opportunities promised to all Ghanaians. Education, healthcare, clean water, and jobs that can sustain families and communities are the pillars of a prosperous nation and the North lags in all of these.

Building the movement

Abdul Rauf Sulemana's prominent presence in the Kumbungu political landscape continues to inspire young party faithful to work assiduously and selflessly for the NPP. Presenting "Governor" as the candidate for 2028 is not just a strategic choice—it is the clear path toward securing victory for the NPP in Kumbungu.

Governor is urging all members of Kumbungu to join him in this fight.
