I never bought pickups or paid GHS100k in the delegates conference – Bawumia

Dr. Bawumia said the recent claims by Kennedy Agyapong that he bribed constituency chairmen in the super delegates conference is a lie.

Bawumia told delegates in the Tatale-Sanguli constituency in the Northern Region on Tuesday 24 October, 2023; that he was hearing one lie about his person or his position on issues each day.

“I am hearing a different lie everyday as I am sitting down and watching what they are saying,” he stated alleging that the unnamed opponents were bent on creating disunity within the rank and file of the NPP.

He specifically addressed three lies which he said had come up recently, addressing first, the claim of Kennedy Agyapong that the VP’s campaign had bought the votes of some super delegates with 100,000 cedis and pickup trucks.

“They say I have given all constituency chairmen, 275 constituency chairmen a hundred thousand cedis (GHc100,000.00), and a pick-up. Have you seen any pick-up here for your chairman? This is just a ridiculous lie” Vice-President Bawumia added.

Bawumia also addressed the issue of him being allegedly opposed to expanding the electoral college stating that it could not be far from the truth.

“How can this happen? It is not possible for me to stop polling station executives and electoral area coordinators from voting. This was a national conference decision and I was very supportive of expanding the electoral college to allow polling station executives and electoral area coordinators to vote and by the grace of God, they will continue to vote,” he stated.

The last issue he raised was with the rumoured position that sitting Members of Parliament want to be allowed to go unopposed in the 2024 polls, a position he is said to be in support of.
