A viral screenshot of a WhatsApp group chat has caught an NPP Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency in the Eastern Region, Davis Opoku Ansah, in a distasteful hate campaign against former Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The MP, identified by the initials OPK in the chat group, launched the unfortunate tribal campaign against Dr Bawumia when he rejected a call for the return of Dr Bawumia as flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party for 2028 on the basis that a northerner cannot succeed another as President. "You say Flagbearer?
The current president, JM, is from the north and you want Ghanaians to elect another northerner in 2028?," the MP wrote.
His tribal tangent attracted criticism from members of the WhatsApp platform, who rejected the introduction of tribalism and divisiveness in the NPP, and generally Ghanaian politics.
