Dr Acheampong had argued that the NPP must reject Dr Bawumia going into future elections, citing his inability to secure any constituencies in seven of the sixteen regions during the 2024 polls. But in a strongly-worded statement read on Monday, 22 December 2025, by Yussif Danjumah, Director of Communications for the group, the team said Dr Acheampong’s argument was “a deliberate attempt to mislead the public with skewed analysis.”
