The Member of Parliament (MP) for Asante Akim, Asante Boateng, has questioned the status of former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and slammed him for being an outsider in the party.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Adom FM\u2019s Badwam<\/em><\/strong> programme, the MP launched a shocking personal attack on the Vice President, and likened him to a serving slave who must not be allowed to lead the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen there is a vacant seat in the family to be filled, you don\u2019t give it to an outsider who was brought into the family to serve. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t elevate an outsider or a slave who was brought in to serve to the highest seat,\u201d the Asante Akim MP said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe brought Bawumia and made him Vice President, and that should be enough. You don\u2019t elevate such an outsider to the main seat. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been honoured with the Vice President and that should be enough. He was an outsider who just served us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The MP, who has been campaigning for the former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, in the NPP Presidential Primaries, likened Dr Bawumia to a slave who has been brought by a royal family to serve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to liken him to a slave of the olden days, where the slave is brought into a royal family to serve. You can honour such a slave or a servant with some chieftaincy seat, but you can\u2019t elevate him to the main seat as we are doing for Bawumia.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should just leave and allow peace to prevail. Because of Bawumia, Alan has left the party and first formed the butterfly movement and now the UP party. We cannot allow him to lead us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
