Delegates, not MPs, will determine NPP’s future – Bryan Acheampong

Dr Bryan Acheampong, New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has emphasized that delegates, rather than Members of Parliament, will select the party’s next presidential candidate.

During his constituency tour in Achiase, Eastern Region, Dr Acheampong responded to a press conference by the Bawumia camp, which revealed that 15 out of 23 MPs in the region had endorsed the former Vice President.

He downplayed the significance of the endorsements, stressing that the grassroots hold the actual power in the upcoming election.

“There are 20,000 strong delegates in this region who will vote. Fifteen MPs pale in comparison. It is the base of the party that counts, and that base is with me,” he told a charged crowd of delegates.

The Abetifi MP said his campaign is rooted in broad grassroots support, which, he noted, reflects the true strength of the party

Reiterating his vision of inclusiveness and renewal, he pledged to empower the base and ensure that no delegate is left behind.
