Spokesperson for the Bawumia Campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has hinted at the possibility of a petition against Movement for Change leader and 2024 presidential candidate, Alan Kyerematen, over his campaign financing.<\/p>\n

This follows a\u00a0petition filed by Solomon Owusu and his legal representatives, which calls for an investigation into Dr. Bawumia\u2019s own public claims of procuring over 300 pickup vehicles for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and raising record sums of money for political campaigns.<\/p>\n

\"Petitioner<\/figure>\n

It argues that such declarations raise questions about the source of funds, possible abuse of office, and breaches of Ghana\u2019s political financing laws.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Joy FM<\/strong>\u2019s Top Story on September 17, Mr Aboagye said his team is \u201ctaking inspiration\u201d from the petition filed against Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/p>\n

He argued that the petitioner, Solomon Owusu of the Movement For Change, and his leader, Alan Kyerematen, should equally be ready to account for how they financed their own nationwide campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure in about two or three days, Solomon will be on air explaining how his leader, as an ordinary minister, managed to afford moving across the country with all the V8s and fuel to campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure people are taking inspiration from him [the petitioner],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The campaign spokesperson also dismissed the petition filed at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) calling for a probe into Dr. Bawumia\u2019s campaign funding, describing it as \u201cjust hot air.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if I want to get 300 pickups, I can mobilise. There are so many ways a politician can raise resources\u2014it depends on your network and wealth,\u201d Aboagye stressed.<\/p>\n

He maintained that political fundraising and resource mobilisation are normal features of politics, adding that once the OSP processes the petition, Dr Bawumia will respond accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
