The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has accused the party’s leadership of bias in favour of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, warning that such actions undermine unity within the party.
In a statement signed by campaign spokesperson, Kwasi Kwarteng Esq., the team condemned the use of the official party’s social media platforms to exclusively stream Dr. Bawumia’s nomination filing on Thursday, August 28.
“The use of the official party’s social media handles to stream only DMB’s nomination filing is a betrayal of the very unity our national leadership claims to preach. It is yet another example of the deliberate and consistent attempts by party leaders to give him an undue advantage in this primary, just as they did in the previous one,” Kwarteng stated.
According to the statement, the Vice President presided over the NPP’s worst electoral results in history, citing a 31% drop in national votes, a 16% decline in northern support, and a 33% fall in southern votes, with virtually no support from Zongo communities.
Mr. Kwarteng stressed that instead of imposing the very candidate under whom we suffered these losses, party leadership should be focused on rebuilding trust and unity ahead of the 2026 elections.
“If this continues, leadership should not be surprised when other candidates begin to take their destiny into their own hands. The grassroots would not be forced into silence while the future of the party is mortgaged for one individual.”

UNITY CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WHEN OFFICIAL PARTY HANDLES ARE REDUCED TO CAMPAIGN TOOLS FOR DR. BAWUMIA.
The use of the official party’s social media handles to stream only DMB’s nomination filing is a betrayal of the very unity our national leadership claims to preach. It is yet another example of the deliberate and consistent attempts by party leaders to give him an undue advantage in this primary, just as they did in the previous one.
These unfortunate acts were among the reasons for our poor performance in past elections. Yet, clearly, we seem not to have learnt any lessons. Under his watch, we recorded the worst results in our party’s history: a 31% drop in national votes, a 16% decline in northern votes, a 33% fall in southern votes, and virtually no support from the Zongo communities.
At such a time, the priority should be rebuilding a stronger, united party to restore hope and confidence. Instead, leadership continues to impose the very candidate under whom we suffered these losses, shamelessly projecting him as the “establishment choice” by giving him undue advantages and platforms.
If this continues, leadership should not be surprised when other candidates begin to take their destiny into their own hands. The grassroots would not be forced into silence while the future of the party is mortgaged for one individual.
Never!
