Acheampong Camp Unfazed by Bawumia Endorsement—‘We’re Confident, Grounds Work Ongoing!
Bryan Acheampong, a presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has downplayed the effect of 118 former NPP parliamentary candidates endorsing former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. They say it won’t affect their momentum ahead of the party’s January 31 presidential primary. Speaking to Citi News, Mpraeso MP and campaign team member Davies Opoku Ansah said the team is still focused on getting delegates to vote and is confident of victory. He also said that the endorsement was unnecessary and driven by Bawumia loyalists, saying, “If they were to go back to their constituencies and do a little research, they will know that the endorsement they did yesterday was absolutely unnecessary.” Most of them are campaign managers or team members for Dr. Bawumia. We are on the ground and getting things done. We hope that Dr. Bryan Acheampong will have visited 276 constituencies by Saturday, and then we can start cleaning up. “We are sure of victory,” they said, adding that the endorsement, which was made public on Thursday, January 8, saw the candidates call Dr. Bawumia the most prepared and winnable candidate based on his experience, competence, vision, and leadership. Group leader and former Sekondi MP Andrew Egyapa Mercer said they had carefully looked at all the flagbearer hopefuls before making their choice.
