Bawumia Blames NDC Legal Battle for Death of Late Akwatia MP

The former Vice President was in Wenchi with a delegation of NPP executives and Minority Members of Parliament as part of campaign efforts ahead of the September 2 Akwatia by-election. He urged residents to rally behind the party’s candidate, Solomon Asumadu, to continue what he described as the development vision of the late Ernest Kumi.

Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the NPP remained the only party capable of delivering sustained progress across the country, insisting that retaining the Akwatia seat was crucial to consolidating the party’s development agenda.

The Wenchi visit is one of several campaign stops being made by the NPP leadership as the party steps up its grassroots mobilization in the lead-up to the by-election, which is expected to be fiercely contested by the ruling NDC.

Dr. Bawumia is also using the campaign trail to boost his own bid to secure the NPP’s presidential slot for the 2028 general elections, having formally filed his nomination to contest in the party’s upcoming primaries.
