Dr. Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, believes Kennedy Agyapong is the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) best chance of winning the 2028 general elections, despite admitting former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s ability.
Dr. Amoah explained that his position was not about criticizing Dr. Bawumia’s talents, but rather the electoral factors that shape Ghanaian politics.
“I don’t think I have questioned the competence of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia before. Never. My issue is about the high probability of NPP winning or losing the election in 2028.
“It is not about competence. In winning an election in Ghana, it doesn’t depend only on performance,” he explained Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on August 26.
He emphasized that geographical and demographic considerations frequently have a major influence in Ghanaian voting patterns, which go beyond the functioning of the government.
“There are a number of factors that will actually impact; they correlate with different degrees, and most of them do not necessarily mean you have performed well or not.
“We have geographical voting. I have analysed these things and I think our chance of winning with Kennedy Agyapong will be higher,” he added.
Pointing to what he called recent economic advances, the former Deputy Finance Minister also commended Dr. Bawumia’s efforts to Ghana’s economic management while he was in charge of the Economic Management Team during President Akufo-Addo’s government.
