Offinso North MP Augustine Collins Ntim has angered NPP constituency secretaries in the Ashanti Region with comments perceived as detrimental to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's presidential bid.
At a May 26 meeting, Ntim argued against selecting a running mate from Ashanti, suggesting the region would support the NPP regardless.
He proposed Irene Naa Torshie Addo from Greater Accra and questioned Bawumia's ability to secure Christian votes without a Christian running mate.
This sparked backlash, leading the Concerned Ashanti NPP Youth to demand an apology from Ntim.
