Don't allow Akufo-Addo on your campaign if you want to win December polls – Dr. Arthur to Dr. Bawumia
A prominent member of the governing New Patriotic Party, Dr. Arthur Kennedy, is urging the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to distance himself from President Akufo-Addo if he wants to win the upcoming December polls.
On Thursday, July 4, the National Council of the NPP confirmed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, as the running mate for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the 2024 general elections.
Speaking to Joshua Kodjo Mensah on GHOne TV, the medical doctor and one-time New Patriotic Party Presidential candidate hopeful believes that voters may punish Dr. Bawumia if he campaigns on the premise of continuing where President Akufo-Addo left off by voting against him.
“He knows that the driver is heading in the wrong direction, so if the mate gets in the driver’s seat, he should change direction. If I were him, I wouldn’t want the President anywhere near my campaign.”
“If he wants to win, he will be. If he doesn’t want to win, then, of course, the President was his godfather who blessed him with this nomination, and the President will lead him to defeat,” he added.
“I will boldly tell the people of Ghana about the mistakes that have been made, failing to protect the public purse, not fighting galamsey, the myriad alphabet soup of corruption, judicial malfeasance, undermining the integrity of state agencies, and pledge that I will forge a new path.”
