A former National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, has taken strong exception to recent comments made by Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, dismissing them as unfounded and misleading.
Kennedy Agyapong, speaking in Mampong in the Ashanti Region, claimed that if the NPP had chosen him instead of Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia as the 2024 flagbearer, the party would have had a better shot at victory.
He went further to suggest that Bawumia's defeat was due in part to religious bias, saying Christians were unwilling to vote for a Muslim.But Nana Akomea isn't buying it. "Then Adu Boahen would have been selected again in 1996 instead of Kufuor," Akomea retorted in an interview with Citi News. "But Kennedy Agyapong is saying that Ghanaians are saying that if the NPP brought he [Kennedy], the NPP will win the elections. "I don't know which Ghanaians are saying so, or which poll that had been done that shows so." Akomea questioned the legitimacy of Kennedy's claims, stressing that such blanket statements without evidence only breed division.
