As a concerned patriot within the Damongo Constituency and a committed member of the New Patriotic Party, I find it necessary to firmly respond to the misleading and contradictory statements being peddled by Dr Bryan Acheampong in the ongoing presidential contest.<\/p>\n

Dr Acheampong must understand that politics is about facts, consistency and credibility, not selective storytelling to suit personal ambition.<\/p>\n

On one hand, he questions why some 4,000 delegates who overwhelmingly voted for Hon. Abu Jinapor as MP did not extend the same support to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during the 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n

He uses this weak argument to mischievously cast doubt on Hon. Abu Jinapor\u2019s influence within the NPP in the Damongo Constituency.<\/p>\n

Yet, in the very same breath, he turns around to attack Dr Bawumia and the NPP for allegedly failing to secure a single parliamentary seat in President Mahama\u2019s home region, the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

Which one is he saying?
Is the Savannah Region empty of NPP representation or not?<\/p>\n

Hon. Abu Jinapor\u2019s victory occurred in Damongo, the capital town of the Savannah Region. This is not just contradictory; it is political confusion at its peak. You cannot acknowledge a strong NPP victory in Damongo and still claim the party has no parliamentary presence in the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

That is intellectually dishonest and politically misleading.<\/p>\n

Let me remind Dr Bryan Acheampong that Damongo is not a village outpost, but the political heartbeat of the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

It remains an NPP-held seat because of performance, leadership and grassroots work, not propaganda.<\/p>\n

Again, during the 2020 elections, John Dramani Mahama won more votes in Damongo than President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. That was expected, because Damongo is President Mahama\u2019s maternal hometown.<\/p>\n

Even a first-year political science student understands the concept of hometown advantage in politics.<\/p>\n

So why pretend it is some strange phenomenon now?<\/p>\n

Dr Acheampong should stop throwing stones from a glass house and focus on what truly matters:<\/p>\n
