Kwabena Agyepong’s Campaign Manager abandons him, joins Bawumia

Former Member of Parliament for Kade and campaign manager for Kwabena Agyepong in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries, Ofosu Asamoah, has officially declared his support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He made the announcement during a campaign event, marking his first public appearance alongside Dr. Bawumia since shifting his allegiance.

According to him, the decision followed a reassessment of the party’s internal contest and his growing conviction that Dr. Bawumia represents the NPP’s strongest chance of reclaiming power in the 2028 general elections.

Addressing delegates at the event, Ofosu Asamoah said he was confident that aligning with Dr. Bawumia was the right step both for him and for the party.

“I am still the same Ofosu Asamoah you know. My connection with Dr. Bawumia and his team isn’t new; I simply chose not to back him earlier this year. But sometimes in life, you recognize that a change is necessary.

“Having observed the campaign closely as Kwabena Agyapong’s manager, I feel things haven’t gone as planned. That’s why I am now joining Dr. Bawumia’s team, whom I believe is destined to be the next president,” he said.

His endorsement is expected to provide a significant boost to Dr. Bawumia’s efforts to consolidate support within the party as he prepares for the presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
