(NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr , is being lambasted on social media over an unfortunate resort to tribal politics against former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Dr Acheampong, addressing party supporters on August 23, argued that the NPP's 2024 defeat was mainly due to what he called "tribal dynamics" surrounding Dr Bawumia's candidature.
The former Agric Minister claimed that while former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won overwhelming support across northern constituencies, Dr Bawumia's candidacy was undermined by long-standing rivalries between Mamprusis and Kusasis.
He argued that this tribal divide contributed to the NPP's loss across the northern belt, including Oti, Upper East, Upper West, and the Northern Region.
