Former member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi has stated the former vice president and 2024 presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s over sixty MPs endorsement is cosmetic.
According to Andy Appiah-Kubi, he has spoken to some members of parliament and they told him Bawumia’s endorsement was just cosmetic.
Andy Appiah-Kubi is quoted by Enews to have stated, “ I spoke to some MPs they said it was cosmetic”.
Reports revealed that some of the MPs paid a courtesy call to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to pledge their support.
The MPs revealed that over sixty out of the NPP’s Eighty-eight MPs have endorsed the former vice president.
Speaking to the media after the close door meeting Dr Bawumia stated, “This morning I had a visit, from our members of parliament, and it was a very happy visit a courtesy call and a call to declare support for me I am so happy for the group that has declared support for me from parliament.
They amount to just over 60 members and you know we have 88 members of parliament, so it is very significant that members of parliament have declared support for me, I just want to use this opportunity to thank all of them”.
Dr Bawumia further added, “I believe this is going to be very important because the members of parliament as you know control the constituencies to a large extent and I am very happy about exactly what they have done today. It is a strong show of support and I thank them and I thank God for this strong show of support. There is a lot of hard work to be done so that we can help the party and help the country”.
The main front runners for the NPP’s flagbearer position are Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Minister for Agriculture Bryan Acheampong, and former Minister for Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum.
Meanwhile, Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa has mocked the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over their tussle over 60 out of 88 parliamentary seats.
The IMANI president noted that the once mighty, well-respected NPP under Kufour, now has its decimated rank and file fighting over 60 members of parliament.
In a post on his social media page on X, Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “It is so sad seeing the once mighty, well respected NPP under Kufour, now having its decimated rank and file fighting over 60 out of 88 parliamentary seats they luckily managed after the 2024 electoral bludgeoning. For supposed front runners for the party’s flagbearer race?
It would be wise to fight to convince 276 constituencies that the party will convince many thieves who stole our money to return the loot, ban them from contesting elections and share a credible plan devoid of empty slogans, spin and waste. Maybe then Ghanaians will try paying attention to them”, he added.
