A former Chief of Staff under former President John Agyekum Kufuor's administration, who is also a known member of the (NPP), Kwadwo Mpiani, has questioned the rationale behind the ongoing Bawumia-led "Thank You Tour." Speaking to JoyNews on April 29, 2025, the seasoned politician aligned with the NPP, criticised the exercise, terming it as a misplaced priority. "The whole exercise is misplaced.

What are we going to thank them for?

For not voting for us, or what?

So, I don't think this is the time for this kind of exercise," he said.
