Irene Naa Torshie is former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund
A group of loyal NPP members in Tema, who also double as working team members loyal to Irene Naa Torshie, former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund, have disowned their former mentor following reports of her switch to the camp of Kennedy Agyapong in the NPP flagbearer race.
Last week, media reports indicated that Naa Torshie was set to join Kennedy’s camp to fulfil a prophecy by Prophet El-Bernard.
Her switch to the Kennedy camp, according to sources, is so she will become his running mate in alignment with the prophecy that a female Vice President will be sworn in on January 7, 2029.
Also, a picture of Naa Torshie together with members of the Kennedy campaign team yesterday emerged on social media, seemingly confirming the reports.
Following the emergence of the picture, a group of loyalists who were together with Naa Torshie in the camp of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia have issued a disclaimer.
They have emphatically disowned Naa Torshie, their former boss, and accused her of pursuing a personal ambition over the collective “party interest” they were working together for.
“The decision by the former MP, Irene Naa Torshie, to join another camp is a deeply personal one, driven by individual ambition. As you can all see, not a single one of her longstanding allies from our party has joined her. This speaks volumes,” the disclaimer issued on behalf of the group by their spokesperson, Nana Yaw Ntim, read.
The group further said: “It is now clear that her move is a reaction to not being selected as Dr Bawumia’s running mate. She has chosen to disregard party loyalty and the collective goal for a personal vice-presidential pursuit that we all know is not a viable mission.”
The group also reprimanded Naa Torshie, disclosing how she failed to have a significant impact on her constituency, saying, “She was with us in Tema West, invested heavily, and we still lost. This demonstrates that our strength was never about one person.”
“We want to assure that our base remains solidly behind our visionary leader, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. We are more united and focused than ever, and we will do everything necessary to ensure his victory is sealed,” the group asserted.
