Dr Bryan Acheampong is a flagbearer hopeful of the NPP
The campaign office of Dr Bryan Acheampong has cautioned the public against mischief targeted at a man who, it said, is doing his best to change the political narrative of the country.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said opponents had “mischievously edited” a video circulating on social media, which falsely portrayed the presidential hopeful as blaming former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia for the Kusasi-Mamprusi conflict.
The team clarified that Dr Acheampong’s original remarks referred to Dr Bawumia as a “victim of circumstance” — not a cause of division.
The campaign team emphasised Dr Acheampong’s continued respect for Dr Bawumia’s leadership and his role in promoting peace.
The statement also addressed the broader political context, noting that tribal tensions were deliberately exploited by opposition forces during the 2024 elections to weaken the New Patriotic Party’s performance in key regions. It added that this had remained a strategic concern that must be addressed with unity and foresight.
“Dr Acheampong’s message is not about division,” the statement read. “It is about rallying the NPP around a winning strategy and candidate. His campaign is anchored on unity, transparency, and results.”
The team urged party faithful and the public to listen to the full recording of the remarks and draw honest conclusions rather than relying on sensationalised clips.
“As the 2028 race begins to take shape, Dr Acheampong’s campaign continues to position itself as a movement focused on resolving deep-rooted national issues and securing a decisive victory for the NPP,” it added.
