A flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Kennedy Agyapong, has alleged that the Campaign Team of the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has made several moves to grease his palms to accept an offer to become his running mate but he has rejected the offer.
According to him, Dr Bawumia is forcefully engaging in a foul political play that has the tendency of destroying the NPP as a party.
Mr Agyapong made these wild allegations at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi in the Ashanti region after a march organized by his ardent supporters dubbed “A SHOWDOWN WALK”
Mr Agyapong alleged further that, the Vice President Dr Bawumia and his team were intimidating party members who were not his supporters, a move that is against the principles of the party.
The “Showdown Walk” Saw indegens in the Ashanti region thronged the principal streets of Kumasi as a demonstration of their show of support for the NPP Presidential hopeful, Mr Kennedy Agyapong.
Majority of the people who joined the walk expressed worry over the current economic challenges in the country under the watch of the President Akufo-Addo/Bawumia led NPP government as their main reason for throwing their weight behind the Member of Parliament for Assin Central.
Majority of the NPP sympathisers also who spoke to our reporter on the beat disclosed that they are of the firm believe that Kennedy Agyapong is the only candidate in the flagbearer race who can help the party to break the 8 year jinx in 2024.
