Nhyiaeso Member of Parliament (MP), Dr. Stephen Amoah, has claimed that the camp of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is overstating the level of support it enjoys within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
His comments follow a visit by about 60 NPP MPs to Dr. Bawumia’s office in Accra to publicly declare their support for his presidential bid.
Dr. Amoah, who is aligned with the campaign of Kennedy Agyapong, expressed doubt over the authenticity of the support shown, suggesting that the turnout did not reflect true loyalty.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show, the MP insisted that some of the MPs who appeared in the group photo actually support other candidates.
“I know some MPs who were in that meeting but have different preferences. People can always change their minds when they consider the bigger picture and what Ghanaians expect from us,” he said.
He went further to challenge the narrative, saying: “We all saw the video, but not everyone in it supports Dr. Bawumia. I can count about seven people who were there but are not genuinely behind him. I vow that if those individuals go into an election and vote for Bawumia and he wins all their votes, I will resign.”
Despite refusing to give specific figures, Dr. Amoah expressed confidence in strong support for Kennedy Agyapong among MPs.
The NPP has scheduled its presidential primaries for January 31, 2026, with early endorsements already highlighting what is expected to be a fiercely contested internal race.
