Vice Chairman of the 'Bawumia 2024 Campaign Team,' Nana Akomea has rejected claims made by Kennedy Agyapong regarding the NPP's electoral history, stating that his assertions are "simply not true or they are not tenable." The former Member of Parliament and erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant had argued that poor electoral performance should not be rewarded with another opportunity to lead the party into the next national election.
Addressing party supporters in Mampong on June 7, 2025, during a visit to mourn the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu, Mr Agyapong emphasised that the NPP's tradition is rooted in rewarding competence and results, not sentiment.
The former Assin Central MP used the platform to reflect on the current state of the party and to caution against overlooking performance in decisions about leadership selection.
His remarks came in the wake of internal conversations over the party's future and the implications of its recent electoral performance under Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party's 2024 flagbearer.
