I won,\u201d NPP Abanga declared, revealing the depth of the political chasm between the siblings. <\/p>\n<p>He confirmed, \u201cYes, he was behind. He came to campaign against me and politics.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This personal account provides a rare glimpse into the dynamics of Ghanaian elections, where individual relationships can be strained by fierce party loyalties.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t4wuAQlLl6U?si=3rPdN3DnS_N5kuF0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>NPP Abanga painted a clear picture of the ideological divergence that pits him against his twin. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact we don\u2019t share the same ideology. He\u2019s an NDC, I\u2019m an NPP; there\u2019s nothing NDC that I support. Same way, nothing MP that he will support, and for that matter, the chemistry is something which is there,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>The interview also touched upon the recent allegations against NDC Abanga regarding his alleged involvement in \u201cgalamsey\u201d (illegal mining) activities, specifically backing fake anti-galamsey taskforces.<\/p>\n<p>While NPP Abanga initially maintained that he \u201ccan\u2019t defend any NDC person\u201d, he later added, \u201cAny NDC person is capable of doing anything, but to me, I\u2019ve never seen him doing galamsey. I know him to be a legitimate man who holds concessions.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This nuanced response suggests a personal belief in his brother\u2019s legitimate business dealings, even amidst the political mudslinging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beyond Family Feuds: Internal Party Debates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beyond his personal electoral woes, NPP Abanga also weighed in on critical internal NPP discussions at the ongoing congress. He notably expressed strong opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment to raise the age limit for the National Youth Organiser position to 35.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t support the 35,\u201d he asserted, explaining that he had engaged with youth organisers from all 275 constituencies and their deputies.<\/p>\n<p>Despite falling within the proposed age range himself, NPP Abanga stressed the importance of democratic principles over personal gain. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be selfish. I\u2019m a political science student\u2026 I believe in democracy and I don\u2019t think I should be so selfish that because it will favor Abanga. In this case, if that thing should come to it means I\u2019m going to be the only contestant of which I should have been happy that I don\u2019t I don\u2019t have to be so selfish that I should think of myself of living members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This public stance on a contentious internal party matter demonstrates NPP Abanga\u2019s broader commitment to what he perceives as democratic fairness within the NPP, even as he navigates the complexities of his political rivalry with his own twin.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
