I Will Quit NPP and Resign as MP: Dr. Opoko Threatens Exit Over Bawumia

Dr. Yaw Isaac Opoku, the Member of Parliament for Offinso South, has declared his intention to resign from Parliament if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is chosen as the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate.

Speaking during a live radio interview, Dr. Opoku expressed strong reservations about the possibility of Bawumia leading the NPP into another presidential contest. He suggested that such a decision could threaten the original principles upon which the party was established and weaken its ability to represent the interests and expectations of ordinary Ghanaians.

His comments have attracted considerable attention, generating different reactions among NPP supporters, political observers, and members of the general public. While some people have praised him for taking a firm position on an issue he considers important to the party’s future, others believe his declaration could contribute to internal disagreements and deepen existing divisions within the opposition party.

The MP’s statement has also raised questions about the level of unity within the NPP as discussions surrounding its future leadership continue. Some observers believe that public disagreements among party representatives could make it more difficult for the party to maintain a common position as it prepares for its next political contest.

His declaration comes amid growing competition among individuals seeking to secure the NPP’s presidential ticket. The contest has continued to generate discussions about the party’s direction, leadership choices, political strategy, and ability to reconnect with ordinary citizens.

Although Dr. Opoku has made his position clear, it remains uncertain whether he will follow through with his resignation promise if Bawumia eventually receives the party’s presidential nomination. His remarks have nevertheless added another dimension to the ongoing leadership debate and highlighted the disagreements surrounding the NPP’s political future.
