As the 2024 general elections approach, the (NPP) is facing significant challenges in its once secure stronghold, the Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region. The party's position is increasingly threatened by the perceived humanity and honesty of the (NDC) parliamentary candidate, Charles Yeboah Darko (Ozey), who is running for a second time and has gained admiration for his impressive performance in the 2020 elections. In stark contrast, the NPP's parliamentary candidate, Nana Kwame Addo Frimpong Ampaw, popularly known as Chief Buffalo, is drawing criticism from his support base for being largely unavailable, uninspiring, and inattentive. As a first-time voter in the constituency, his lack of visibility is raising alarms among party members and supporters. Many within the NPP are disappointed with Chief Buffalo's apparent absence and lack of engagement since his narrow victory in the party's primaries, where he secured just 220 votes to beat four other candidates, including the incumbent.
