Bawumia Campaign Condemns Agyapong's Personal Attacks Amid NPP Presidential Race

The campaign team of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has strongly condemned personal attacks made by fellow New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful Kennedy Agyapong. Following Agyapong's allegations that Bawumia made disparaging comments about the late Albert Adu Boahen's health in relation to the 1996 NPP primaries, Bawumia's team labeled these claims as "baseless and unwarranted." They refuted Agyapong's assertions, clarifying that the comments originated from Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiaku, not Bawumia himself. In a press release, the Bawumia campaign emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum and truthfulness in political discourse, urging Agyapong to retract his statements and apologize. The campaign's response has garnered support from social media users, who criticized Agyapong's conduct as "disgusting" and "despicable," questioning his loyalty to the party. In contrast, Bawumia has been praised for his calm demeanor amidst the provocations, with calls for a more respectful and constructive intra-party dialogue as the NPP prepares for its presidential contest.
