Minister for Food and Agriculture and MP For Abetifi Constituency, Hon. Bryan Acheampong has said the upcoming New Patriotic Party November 4th presidential election is a foregone conclusion for the other four aspirants contesting with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
His comments comes after the vice president shockingly got 629 of the 956 total votes cats during the special delegates congress which took place last Saturday to trim the number from 10 to 5.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM, Bryan Acheampong said he would plead with the other presidential hopefuls to step down and allow Dr. Bawumia to lead the NPP in the 2024 election.
According to him, if they do this, they will be forever be remembered by the party years to come.
“November 4th election is a foregone conclusion. I will plead with the other candidates to give up and be remembered by the party. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is NPP’s candidate ahead of the 2024 election. The NPP’s spirit is behind Dr. Bawumia,” he said.
It’s inevitable that Dr. Bawumia will win massively come Nov. 4th, it’s just a matter of time”

Bryan Acheampong’s assertion doesn’t come as surptising to many since almost the bigwigs of the ruling NPP want Dr. Bawumia elected as the presidential candidate ahead of Alan Kyerematen and Kennedy Agyapong for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
In a related news, former NPP deputy general secretary Nana Obiri-Boahen has declared that if Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is not chosen as the party’s flagbearer, he will leave politics.
“The Bawumia agenda and the Bawumia issue are non-negotiable. It will never happen that Bawumia will not win. No, it won’t happen anywhere.
“I will stop politics if he doesn’t win because I don’t just talk… so whatever I say, don’t challenge but just accept,” he said.
He predicted that the Vice President would win in at least 200 of the 275 constituencies, solidifying his position as the front-runner within the NPP, in an interview with Kwabena Mensah Abrompah on Radio Univers.
