After a flagbearer candidate was shown on camera threatening Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Nana Akufo-Addo with a “showdown,” tension in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Super Delegates Election continued to rise.
His response is in response to claims that an election official for Ken Agyapong was allegedly escorted from a polling place in the Central Region.
Since then, a video showing Ken Agyapong in the midst of an intense phone call has gone viral. As heard in the video, Ken Agyapong says, “I’ll give them a lifetime showdown in this country. President Akufo-Addo and Vice President, I’ll give you all showdown. Why would you chase my agent away from the polling station and on what account? You would surely hear from me. I promise you that I’ll challenge Akufo-Addo anytime.”
Uncertainty surrounds the specifics of the purported altercation between Ken Agyapong’s agent and election officials.
Dr. Bawumia has received an overwhelming majority of support, according to our preliminary findings from all 16 regions of Ghana, leaving Kennedy Agyapong and Alan Kyerematen well behind.
Dr. Bawumia has received an impressive 629 votes as of the most recent results, demonstrating his vast reach and support within the party. His nearest rivals Kennedy Agyapong and Alan Kyerematen, who have received 132 and 95 votes, respectively, and him are now in a significant lead in the contest.
The breakdown of the regional results reveals a stunning outpouring of support for Dr. Bawumia, who is declared the winner in each of the 16 areas. Notably, Dr. Bawumia has gained support from the Ashanti Region, which has historically been a bastion for the NPP, thus enhancing his standing as a tough candidate.
These preliminary findings represent a significant victory for Dr. Bawumia’s campaign as he continues to gain support in his fight to be chosen as one of the five flagbearer candidates to contest in the party’s primary elections in November of this year.
