Kennedy Agyapong Campaign Critiques Bawumia's Endorsement Amidst Political Tensions

In a recent political development, the Kennedy Agyapong campaign has publicly criticized the endorsement of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia by several former parliamentary candidates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Spokesperson Kwasi Kwarteng accused these endorsers of attempting to "whitewash" Bawumia’s electoral record, particularly highlighting his poor performance in the last elections where he lost in 199 out of 276 constituencies and failed to secure a win in any of Ghana’s seven regions. Kwarteng emphasized that many NPP supporters opted for parliamentary candidates while rejecting Bawumia, reflecting a significant dissatisfaction within the party. He asserted that the endorsements from party elites would not sway polling station executives, who are expected to represent the true sentiments of the party on election day. This critique comes as the NPP gears up for its flagbearership contest, with internal divisions becoming increasingly apparent as candidates vie for support.
