Claims that Bawumia supports sitting Members of Parliament being unchallenged are untrue.

Claims that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, is advocating for all New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs to go unchallenged have been refuted.

Dr. Bawumia observed that his competitors in the NPP flagbearer contest are aware of their certain defeat and have turned to lying.

He reiterated that the New Patriotic Party is run by a constitution that dictates what the party will do, so it doesn’t make sense for those allegations to be made.

“The third lie that I have heard this morning is that I want all sitting MPs to go unopposed. Nobody should contest a sitting MP. How can I say that? The party constitution cannot even allow that. This party is stronger when we have democracy working, and so I will never say any sitting MP must go unopposed.

There must be consensus in any constituency, and so that lie must be left alone. But as I say, their tactic is that if you miss the ball, don’t miss the man, but as for this, they will miss the man because, as for this, we will not allow their lies to take root.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is contesting to lead the NPP in the 2024 elections.
