Dr Bryan Acheampong has once again jabbed former Vice President and flagbearer for the NPP in the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to Dr Bryan Acheampong, former president Akufo-Addo told Ghanaians he was bringing on board Dr Bawumia to come and look after Ghana’s economy.
He cited that the dollar was given to Bawumia a 4 cedis, but when the NPP was leaving office in 2025, Bawumia had moved the dollar from 4 cedis to 17 cedis, blaming Ghana’s economic woes under Akufo-Addo on the former vice president.
Speaking to NPP delegates at Kwadaso, Dr Bryan Acheampong stated, “ Akufo-Addo told us that he was bringing a gentleman who would come and look after Ghana’s economy for him to bring peace to Ghanaians.
We took the dollar from 4 cedis, when they voted us out, the dollar was at 17 cedis. You were given a homematch: take the economy and run it and win elections for yourself, but you moved the dollar from GHS 4 to GHS 17. People were queuing up at the Ministry of Finance, pressuring the government for their money”.
He further added, “We were told fertiliser will rescue us, when we lost in Subin, do they grow maize over there that our votes should go down? In Kwadaso, how much maize is grown here? At the circle where we lost over 20,000 votes, do we grow maize there?
All of us here know the things that happened that we lost the elections, and we cannot repeat the same candidate because it will not work well for us”.
In related NPP news, a new survey conducted on the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary has revealed that the former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, has taken the lead in the NPP’s presidential primaries.
The survey conducted by researcher Dr Evans Duah was unveiled at a press conference at the British Council in Accra on Monday, October 20, 2025.
The survey highlighted that Ken Agyapong has widened his lead over his main contender, Dr Bawumia.
Part of the survey revealed, “The September–October 2025 results confirm a consolidation of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s (KOA) lead and a gradual decline in Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s (DMB) national share.
KOA’s growth from approximately 41% in August to 44.11% (worst-case) and 53.80% (best-case) in October 2025 represents a critical phase shift. He is no longer only leading but also sustaining that lead across multiple regions”.
The survey report revealed Ken Agyapong’s support base remained strongest across the southern belt, particularly in the Central, Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Volta, and Western regions.
The results showed Kennedy Agyapong securing between 44.11% and 53.80% of support under worst and best-case projections, respectively.
Dr Bawumia, who served as Vice President of Ghana and led the NPP into the 2024 general elections, maintained second place with strong support from the northern regions — North East, Northern, Savannah, Upper East, and Upper West — the findings suggest limited growth in his appeal beyond those areas.
“Conversely, DMB’s share has stabilised within a narrower range (39.51% to 32.21%), reflecting a steady but constrained base. This stagnation signals that while his northern bloc remains intact, his campaign has struggled to make inroads in the south despite increased visibility and endorsements”, it added.
The survey also detailed that Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyapong continue to trail.
“Bryan Acheampong (BA) has gained marginally, moving from 6.28 % to 8.27 %, demonstrating resilience within the Eastern Region and limited traction in the Greater Accra periphery. Both Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum (YOA) and Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyapong (KAA) maintain symbolic relevance, appealing to delegates through niche credibility rather than broad structural reach”, the report added.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will go to the polls on January 31st 2026, to decide their presidential candidate to lead them in the 2028 general election.
