Dennis Miracles Aboagye, aide to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has refuted claims suggesting that Dr. Bawumia was elevated above other flagbearer hopefuls during the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Delegates Conference held over the weekend.
Responding to criticisms raised by some party members, including Kwasi Kwarteng, Spokesperson for flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, in an interview on Citi Eyewitness News on Monday, July 21, he described the accusations as baseless and an unfortunate distraction from what he believes was a successful and unifying party event.
“I think it is a sad situation. It is sad that anytime the party is taking its shine and taking its glory, we will have such issues coming up and basically robbing the party of its shine. I mean, this is completely unfounded. Where is this coming from?”
He stressed that the event was not centered on any individual, but rather on the collective interests of the party, with everyone present fully aligned with that focus.
“Everybody at the stadium and all those who were watching on TV acknowledged the beauty of the occasion. First of all, Saturday had nothing to do with contestants. There was no single individual at the venue on Saturday who was more important than the party NPP. It was all about NPP on Saturday.”
Miracles further expressed frustration that the successful nature of the conference was being overshadowed by what he called unfair and divisive narratives.
“I think it is quite unfair on the party that after such a successful event, we have to be saddled with this conversation. It is high time Kwesi Kwarteng and co stop this. It is unfair to the party. Basically, they are robbing the party of its shine.”
