Eric Agyemang, Deputy Constituency Secretary for Asunafo South and former Campaign Secretary for the Kennedy Agyapong team in the area, has defected to Dr Bawumia’s camp.
According to Eric Agyemang, he regrets his previous actions and statements made against Dr Bawumia during the party’s internal campaign.
He claimed upon reflection on his actions, he realised that much of the information he helped spread against Dr Bawumia was false, and he sincerely apologised.
Speaking at a gathering of New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in Asunafo South, Agyemang stated, “I came to all of you to campaign for Kennedy Agyapong in the past, but I have come to realise that the things we said about Dr Bawumia were lies and falsehood.
“I regret it deeply, and I am withdrawing everything I told you about him. Let us all come together and support Dr Bawumia,” he said.
In related NPP news, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has dissociated the party from comments made by Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, Kwaku Asante Boateng.
The NPP General Secretary stated that the Asante Akim South MP’s remarks are unfortunate.
In a statement issued by Justin Kodua Frimpong, on November 1, read, “The National Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has noted with concern certain comments attributed to the Honourable Member of Parliament for Asante Akim South, Kwaku Asante Boateng, and considers such a statement unfortunate and disassociates itself from those remarks”.
“As a political tradition founded on the principles of freedom, justice, democracy, and equal opportunity, the Party remains dedicated to fostering a society where every Ghanaian, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or social background, can participate meaningfully in the governance and development of our nation,” it stated.
“The Party emphasises that political membership and recognition within the NPP are not defined by personal attributes or identity, but by one’s loyalty, commitment, and service to the Party’s ideals and the national interest. The NPP, therefore, welcomes all citizens who subscribe to its core values and principles and are willing to contribute to the advancement of Ghana’s democratic and developmental agenda,” the statement added.
It added, “As a Party of unity and progress, the NPP assures the Ghanaian people that it will continue to uphold the dignity of every citizen and to promote a political culture anchored in tolerance, respect, and inclusiveness”.
The NPP’s General Secretary’s statement follows that of Kwaku Asante Boateng who labelled Dr Bawumia as an alien and a stranger.
According to the NPP member of parliament, Dr Bawumia was an alien and a stranger in the NPP who was brought in and made vice president and should have stepped aside after serving for eight years as vice president.
He claimed, Dr Bawumia is part of the reason there is no peace in the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
