New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has reaffirmed his commitment to his campaign despite what he describes as persistent attacks and fabricated accusations in the party’s internal contest.
His comments follow backlash over a viral video suggesting he blamed fellow aspirant, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for the Mamprusi–Kusasi conflict in the north. Dr. Acheampong’s campaign team dismissed the footage as “mischievously pieced together and venomously captioned.”
In a statement on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, the Abetifi MP acknowledged the smear campaign against him but insisted he remains resolute.
“Yes, I have come under a barrage of attacks. Falsehoods have been spread about me. Fake materials have been shared to question my character. But through it all, I remain focused, not on retaliation, but on restoration,” he said.
Dr. Acheampong stressed that the flagbearer race must be anchored on ideas and vision, not insults. He also appealed to his supporters to remain disciplined and avoid personal attacks.
“I respectfully call on all who support me to refrain from intemperate language, personal attacks, and the circulation of false materials. Let us not mirror the tactics we seek to rise above,” he urged.
He further emphasized that his campaign is not just about winning but about uniting the party.
“We are building something far greater than a campaign. We are building a movement to unite and rebuild our beloved New Patriotic Party. Let our words heal, not harm. Let our actions inspire, not inflame. Let our conduct reflect the future we are determined to lead,” he added.
