The former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr.
Owusu Afriyie Akoto is set to join the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in his campaign tour of the Ashanti Region.
This move to join the campaign team at this crucial moment signifies the strength of unity in the leadership of the party and to send a signal to the base of the party at its stronghold that leadership was poised to retain power.
A source who disclosed this to the Ghanaian Times said, the presence of Dr Afriyie Akoto, a son of Baffour Osei Akoto, a founding pillar of the UP tradition, is expected to add to the ferocity of the campaign in the Ashanti Region.
