6 d. ago Bawumia still NPP’s strongest asset — Northern region operations team

The Dr Mahamudu Bawumia Northern Region Operations Team has sharply criticised Dr Bryan Acheampong, describing his call for the NPP to remove Dr Bawumia as its presidential candidate as “intellectually dishonest” and a misrepresentation of the party’s electoral record. 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.”
