On November 4, 2023, vice president Mahamudu Bawumia met with his primary opponent in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer contest.
According to a report from the pro-government Daily Guid newspaper, which 1Family Radio was able to view, Kennedy Agyapong’s Accra home was visited on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
The newspaper described it as a well-thought-out political maneuver, stating that the purpose of the dinner meeting was to strengthen the friendship between the two powerful individuals and encourage cooperation for the party’s advancement as the next election approached.
Neither the Veep’s team nor the Assin Central MP, who became a significant force in the NPP presidential flagbearer contest, have disclosed any photos or information about the aforementioned encounter.
‘’Dr. Bawumia is expected to visit other aspirants and opinion leaders in the NPP as he tries to mend fences and build bridges ahead of the 2024 elections.’’
“The unexpected visit by Dr. Bawumia to his closest rival in the NPP presidential race demonstrated a strong commitment to unity within the NPP and the broader political landscape,’’ parts of the report read.
According to reports, Bawumia praised Ken for his incalculable contribution to the party at all levels, emphasizing the necessity for them to work together and prioritize the good of the country before individual interests.
“They agreed to set aside any difference and work hand in hand to ensure the prosperity and development of Ghana,’’ it noted.
