I Supported Bawumia in 2023 Because I Thought He Could Win Northerners and Zongos- Oppong

Political commentator affiliated with the New Patriotic Party and member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, Jennifer Oppong had revealed why he chose to support Kennedy Agyapong instead of Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia. According to her, she joined the party to support Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s Candidacy in 2023 because she believed he could pull northerners and the Zongos to the New Patriotic Party but he failed woefully.

“One of the reasons why we campaigned vigorously for Dr. Bawumia in 2023 was for the strong belief that his candidacy would secure overwhelming support from the Northern regions and the Muslim community. However, the 2024 election results have proven otherwise. The anticipated electoral advantage rooted in regional and religious identity did not materialize as expected.

In fact, it was during his time as flagbearer that we witnessed a significant loss of support in the Zongo communities across the country, as well as in all five Northern regions. This outcome has been both surprising and disappointing, forcing us to reassess the assumptions that guided our campaign strategy.

We cannot play chaskele with our dearest Npp party!” She wrote.
