Dr. Bryan Acheampong
NPP Flagbearer aspirant, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has been dealt a heavy blow, following the defection of a senior campaign coordinator, Elizabeth Anim Kessewaah Adjornor, his campaign coordinator for Jasikan Constituency.
With a few weeks to the NPP’s primaries, Elizabeth Adjornor, who was the Municipal Chief Executive Officer (MCE) for the area, has announced he defection to the camp of former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a press statement announcing her withdrawal from Bryan’s camp and return to Bawumia’s, Elizabeth Adjornor said her decision had been taken after “deep personal reflection and sincere consultation.”
“I am convinced, beyond doubt, that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia represents the vision, discipline, and forward-looking leadership that Ghana needs at this critical stage of our democratic journey.
Madam Elizabeth Adjornor proclaimed her previous close association with Dr. Bawumia, adding that returning to his camp is “a decision of conviction, conscience, and consistency.”
“My heart continues to yearn for the political home where I once belonged. I am convinced, beyond doubt, that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia represents the vision, discipline, and forward-looking leadership that Ghana needs at this critical stage of our democratic journey.”
The former MCE added that her decision to join Bryan Acheampong earlier, may have inadvertently swayed some of her people to follow her. She therefore rendered an apology to Dr. Bawumia and also urged her people to ‘return home.’
“I also wish to use this opportunity to render an unreserved apology to His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Although I never issued any unpalatable or derogatory statement against him, I acknowledge that my public support for Bryan Acheampong may have inadvertently drawn a considerable number of people away from the DMB camp.”
“This was never my intention, and I regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding my actions may have caused. Accordingly, I humbly entreat all supporters, associates, and sympathizers who left the DMB camp on my account to return home, just as I have done.”
“Our collective strength lies in unity, loyalty, and a shared belief in credible leadership.”
