WATCH: Chaos In Ashanti Region As Alan, Ken Agyapong Supporters Defect To Bawumia

The Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia (DMB) brand continues to be an attracting force for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) grassroots, as more individuals openly declare their support for the Vice President. This show of support for Dr. Bawumia is a testament to his growing popularity within the party.

Barely a week after some executives in the Assin Central Constituency of the Central Region openly declared their support for Dr. Bawumia, executives and supporters from the Ashanti Region have followed suit.

During a news conference on Sunday, October 15, 2023, supporters of John Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten and Kennedy Agyapong defected to the camp of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, pledging their unflinching support for his potential presidential bid.

Led by Mr. Dawuda Afriyie, the First Vice Chairman of the Offinso North Constituency, they were seen in a viral video singing the praises of the Vice President and chanting “It’s Possible.”

Addressing the press, Adul Aziz Ismail, known as Kennedy Ba, a polling station executive at Kwaman Methodist in the Afigya Kwabre North Constituency, underscored the need for a winnable candidate like Dr. Bawumia. He stated, “We are looking for a winnable flagbearer for the 2024 polls. Some of our MPs and executives have come under severe attacks over their choice of their preferred candidates. The Majority Leader, who has been an MP for several years, knows the best candidate to be the flagbearer and settled on the Vice President as the best candidate. Our father Kan Dapaah believes Bawumia is the obvious choice, and we have bought into their idea. As a result, we have resolved to support the Vice President.”

Mr. Adul Aziz Ismail described Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the right candidate to be the flagbearer of the NPP in 2024, emphasizing that this choice is made for the general good of the NPP and is not motivated by inducement or personal gain.

On his part, Mr. Dawuda Afriyie, a staunch Alan Kyeremanten supporter in the Ashanti Region, expressed his disappointment with the conduct of the resigned NPP member. He stated, “After Alan’s decision to resign from the NPP, it is obvious I am not a kid in politics to be shown which path to choose. I voted for Busia in 1969 and I have been voting to date. I have supporters, and we decided to throw our support behind Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. We have supporters in the 15 constituencies assigned to me, and I can assure you they will all be for Bawumia now.”

These developments reflect the growing strength of the Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia brand within the NPP, as the party prepares for the 2024 elections. The Vice President’s appeal seems to be resonating with party members, positioning him as a formidable contender for the NPP’s flagbearer position.
