With just two weeks remaining until the party’s primary, Dr. Bawumia is currently on a campaign trail and believes that his opponents are resorting to fabricating stories against him due to their fear of an upcoming major loss.
“Unfortunately, the way the results of the super delegates came, many of our opponents are confused and they are seeing looming defeat on Nov 4 and because of that they have decided to adopt some new tactics the new tactics is what?
They have decided to spread lies and to bring disunity amongst us and to create problems between chairmen and constituency executives and the polling station executives and electoral area coordinators,” Dr. Bawumia told delegates in the Tatale-Sanguli Constituency.
In recent times, Dr. Bawumia has come under a huge of criticism in the lead up to the presidential primary especially from his main contender, Kennedy Agyapong with the latest by former Environment Minister, Prof Frimpong-Boateng.
Prof. Boateng in an exclusive interview said the governing party will struggle to win the 2024 elections with the Vice President as its candidate.
Having chosen silence all throughout the campaign, the strongly believes that the strategy of those criticizing his efforts is to knock their heads together with different lies.
“I’m hearing a lie everyday as I am sitting down and watching what they are saying” the Vice President said.
The Vice President, who has been accused of buying allegiance again challenged the narrative. “They say I have given all Constituency Chairmen, 275 Constituency Chairmen a GHC100, 000 and a pick-up. Have you seen any pick-up here for your chairman? This is just a ridiculous lie” he told the supporters who cheered him on.
Dr. Bawumia further disregard claims he is advocating for sitting MPs to contest their primaries unopposed. For Dr. Bawumia, “their tactics is that if you miss the ball, don’t miss the man, but as for this they will miss the man because we will not allow their lies to take root.”
However, as the party aims to break the 8, the New Patriotic Party will on November 4 go to the poll to elect a flagbearer to take over from President Akufo-Addo. Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, Dr Afriyie Akoto and Addae Nimo are in contention.
