Hopeson Adoye, a former MP candidate for Kpone Katamanso, asserted that legislators who support Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are motivated by personal gain and starvation.
Mr. Adoye asserts that these endorsements are fictitious, with MPs supporting Dr. Bawumia in order to gain personal benefits.
He stated, "Endorsements are beneficial, but some are counterfeit. If I believe I will benefit from endorsing you, I will do so."
Mr. Adoye further implied that if parliamentary elections were held between Dr. Bawumia and former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen, Mr. Kyerematen would emerge victorious, stating, "If we vote today as super delegates from parliament, Alan will win by 60 to 70 percent."
On November 4, 2023, the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary is expected to be a fierce contest between Mr. Kyerematen and Dr. Bawumia, with the latter presently enjoying widespread support among NPP legislators and ministers.
Over eighty members of the Majority caucus, including First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu and Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Ankompreh, have been spotted accompanying Dr. Bawumia to events as a sign of their support and unwavering commitment to his candidacy.
