Bawumia is worst-ever Vice President in Ghana’s history – Former NPP Chairman

The former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party NPP who is also Campaign Manager for Team Ken in Ashanti Region, Yaw Amankwa, has slammed the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the worst Vice-President in the political history of Ghana.

In his view, the economic challenges and untold hardships the country is experiencing is very rare under the supervision of the econ­omy management team , headed by the vice President.

He noted that ,Dr Bawumia has woefully failed on all his fat Campaign promises of turning the fortunes of the country’s economy for the betterment of all.

He said the current inflation rate, Cedi to dollar rate, high taxes among other areas which Dr Bawumia has failed to managed is enough requirements to say he has disappointed Ghanaians.

In an interview on M’abatoɔ evening political show on Akoma FM with William Evans-Nkum and JB, the Ashanti Regional campaign Team for Ken , Mr Yaw Amankwa revealed it will be very difficult for the NPP to win the 2024 general elections with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the party’s presidential candidate.

He added the rank and file of the party are full aware that breaking the 8 is impossible with the candidature of Dr Bawumia.

Mr Amankwa expressed worry about the party’s internal waggling which has given room for violence and infighting within the Party.

He bemoaned the rate of of violence, intimidation and infighting that characterised the NPP’s internal party elections,adding that some elements within the NPP have hijacked the party and wanted to scheme the presidential slot for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

He again expressed his dissatisfaction in the governing NPP by the current crop of leaders on the level of indiscipline which is not in line with the party’s principles.

He stressed that Kennedy Agyapong is the only candidate who can break the 8 year jinx for the NPP come 2024.

Mr Amankwah stated that Kennedy Agyapong over the years has shown his commitment to transform the economy, reduce youth unemployment and bring the lost hope to the citizenry through his humanitarian services.

“Bawumia becoming the party’s flagbearer would likely lead the NPP into opposition, he said, arguing that the party should endeavour to stop such move else the party would go to opposition.

He said, through determination and hardwork he will resist any attempts that might propel the NPP into perpetual opposition.
