Nana Akomea, chairman of the communications directorate for Bawumia's campaign, has debunked Bryan Acheampong's recent assertions that Bawumia's candidature was the major cause of the Npp loss in 2024.
Speaking on Peace fm's kokrokoo programme last Thursday, he described Bryan Acheampong's assertion as just his personal conjecture, lacking any basis in credible research.
Explaining his point to host Kwame Sefa Kayi, Nana Akomea cited the reports of several research work done in 2024 before the elections, such as that of the EIU, Afrobarometer and Global Info Analytics. All these surveys reported that Npp would lose the elections due to the prevailing living conditions, i.e., bread and butter issues.
He further cited research work done in 2025 after the elections, such as the Prof Ocquaye Committee and the German Konrad Adenaeur, which all confirmed the same reasons of the economy and disaffection against government as the major causes of the defeat.
