The spokesperson for Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign, Kwasi Kwarteng, has dismissed claims by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s team that over 200 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) have endorsed the former Vice President’s bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking in an interview, Mr Kwarteng described the endorsements as staged and aimed at creating a false sense of widespread support.
“It is good for them (the Bawumia camp), we wish them well if indeed they believe they have over 200 MMDCEs,” he said. “I’m sure the election day will vindicate that position.”
He added, “It was a similar practice done during the last elections that directly convinced polling station executives to vote for Dr Bawumia, and we all saw the outcome.”
Mr Kwarteng stated that Kennedy Agyapong’s camp is focused on engaging with over 200,000 polling station executives, who he believes will make an informed decision on who should lead the party.
“Our focus is to engage over 200,000 polling station executives. We are confident that they will make a determination on who they believe should lead the party — a candidate who is marketable, winnable, and can unite the party,” he said.
He further noted, “But I know that this time around, they will not make a decision and elect a candidate that is not marketable, elect a candidate that is not winnable, elect a candidate that will not be able to unite the party.”
