A civil society organisation, the Citizen Eye Ghana (CITEG), has accused the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of displaying bias in favour of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia following the party's 2024 presidential primaries.
In a letter dated April 22, 2025.
and addressed to NPP National Chairman Stephen Ntim, CITEG claimed that the party was compromising its neutrality by using official party platforms, branding, and resources to promote Dr Bawumia, even though the party has not yet formally declared an official presidential candidate. "The NPP currently has no presidential candidate.
Yet, through the packaging of this tour, the party appears to be unofficially crowning Bawumia as its chosen flagbearer," the letter stated.
