A group of 62 current and 34 former Youth Organizers and their deputies of the New Patriotic Party in the Ashanti region have come together to express their collective displeasure over what they claim is a deliberate attempt by Dr. Bryan Acheampong to smear the candidacy of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia with lies and unfair accusations.
According to the group, Dr. Acheampong, in his campaign for the party’s flagbearership in Ashanti Region, consistently accused the former Vice President of the party’s defeat.
However, the group believes that Dr. Acheampong’s actions and inactions were major contributors to the party’s electoral misfortune, which he refuses to accept.
Speaking at a press conference, spokesperson of the group, Bright Nyampong stated that Dr. Acheampong’s attempt to purchase SSNIT Hotels and his performance as Agriculture Minister were major reasons for the party’s defeat in the 2024 General Elections.
The group further indicated that Dr. Acheampong’s utterances during the campaign period were a significant contributory factor to the party’s loss.
They claimed that the aspirant has shown undemocratic tendencies, which could affect the party’s fortunes if elected as flagbearer.
The group has further endorsed the candidature of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumiah.
Below is the press release.
