A group calling itself Friends of Bawumia have lambasted the Deputy National Communications Officer of the (NPP), Ernest Owusu Bempah, for attributing the defeat of the party to the candidature of the former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, it described Owusu-Bempah's comments as baseless and an attempt to tarnish Bawumia's image for personal gains. "In the widely publicised video and publications, Owusu Bempah is heard shockingly launching an unwarranted attack on Dr Mahamudu Bawumia -a man who has served this party with loyalty and humility. 'He referred to Dr.
Bawumia as "a bad candidate" and accused of him of being responsible for the party's defeat in the 2024 general elections.
Owusu Bempah provided no shred of evidence or data to back his claims, at best, his outburst against Dr Bawumia can best be described as self-serving and lickspittle service just to earn him the position of director of communications for Kennedy Agyapong's campaign", it said.
