This is what political parties do and in this case, this is what the NPP should do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one is in charge of the party and those who are in charge are part of the problem. No one is forcing him but it\u2019s strategic. The goals of the party are not the same as the goal of the candidate vying to capture power,\u201d Mr Baah told\u00a0Starr News.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/22191989129,1002554\/MGL\/mgl_ado_atunwa_300x250 --><\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cBawumia is younger than the rest, truthfully, he is not a true blood NPP member he is an outsider. Fine, he is done well, he has gone three times with Nana. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially, people will push him to go. He was with Nana one, two and the third time they won. Now he wants another four years, that\u2019s 16-years and after that, I am sure he will run again. Is he the only person in the party? That\u2019s the question,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Senior Lecturer added that if elections are held today NPP will lose \u201cbecause many people are saying that Nana Addo is not doing well and if Nana Addo is not doing well Bawumia is not doing well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNPP does not have the chance of winning the next election if things should go the way they are going now. Bawumia is young, let the others go and unite the party four years later you can be in charge,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"in2VhxtCiJk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Foreign Ministry Intervenes in IGP-UK High Commissioner Row - Badwam Mpensenpensemu on Adom TV\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/in2VhxtCiJk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia A Political Science Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Dr Richard Amoako-Baah, has advised Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to abort his presidential ambition for the 2024 Elections.
