Dr Jonathan Asante Otchere is a political science lecturer at UCC
Senior political science lecturer at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Dr Jonathan Asante Otchere, has slammed former Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) of New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the controversy surrounding their endorsement of flagbearer aspirants of the party.
According to the political scientist, the endorsements the former MMDCEs are giving to the various contenders for the NPP flagbearership position appear to be insincere.
Speaking to GHOne TV on June 24, 2025, Dr Asante Otchere remarked that the former chief executives appear to lack integrity because they endorse every candidate they meet.
“I do not see the former MMDCEs as people with integrity and principles; they’re a bunch of political prostitutes,” he said.
The criticism by the political science lecturer comes on the heels of claims and counterclaims that all the former MMDCEs are endorsing aspirants of the NPP presidential primaries, which is slated for January 31, 2026.
Several groups of the former MMDCEs have held press conferences either affirming or denying their endorsement of some of the contenders.
Meanwhile, some of the former MMDCEs have been captured singing the praises of all the contenders they have met.
