Accusations of betrayal and speculation about defection to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were leveled against Aduomi by some NPP members. However, Aduomi dismissed these claims, affirming his continued support from NDC backers.

In an interview with Citi News, Mr. Ntim expressed apprehension about the internal competition between two candidates from the same party.

“Yes, it is concerning because the two primary contenders, Aduomi and Kwabena Boateng, belong to the same political family. We should not be celebrating; I’m not celebrating. My focus now is on how to reintegrate the Aduomi factor into the party, bringing him back to the fold.

“So that in December when we face our real political opponents, we present a united NPP front. It shouldn’t be challenging at all. Whatever it takes, we will reach out. As the national chairman, I assure you, we will take the initiative and reach out to him.”
