Incumbent Member of Parliament for Bantama constituency in the Ashanti Region, Francis Asenso Boakye has refuted claims of camping some NPP delegates.
Bantama MP, Asenso Boakye was met by reporters after attending a morning devotion before stepping to cast his vote.
He was met by reporters while singing, and he said he was filled by the “spirit” and that was in no way to intimidate his opponent.
Speaking to the journalists in a video sighted on X (formerly Twitter), the NPP MP rubbished rumours that he had camped some NPP delegates prior to the voting.
Debunking the allegations, Asenso Boakye stated emphatically that he cannot camp delegates who are old enough to be his grandfather.
“There is no iota of truth we didn’t camp delegates. Nobody can camp delegates. These delegates are mature, some are as old as my grandfather. So how can you cam your grandfather? how can you camp your father? It is a figment of their own imaginations,” he said.
He also explained that before he embarks on any contest, he does a morning devotion and this time, some delegates willingly decided to join him.
