Dr Richard Amoako-Baah, a Political Science Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has encouraged Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to abandon his presidential bid in 2024.
Mr Baah believes that recent developments within the ruling New Patriotic Party do not bode well for the party, citing the schism between Trade Minister Alan Kyeremanten and Vice President John Kufuor.
“I want Bawumia to step aside because of the rancour between him and Alan’s camp, Bawumia should step aside, this is strategic. This is what political parties do and in this case, this is what the NPP should do.
“No one is in charge of the party and those who are in charge are part of the problem. No one is forcing him but it’s strategic. The goals of the party are not the same as the goal of the candidate vying to capture power,” Mr Baah told Starr News.
He continued: “Bawumia is younger than the rest, truthfully, he is not a true blood NPP member he is an outsider. Fine, he is done well, he has gone three times with Nana. Initially, people will push him to go. He was with Nana one, two and the third time they won. Now he wants another four years, that’s 16-years and after that, I am sure he will run again. Is he the only person at the party? That’s the question.” He stated.
