The campaign team of Dr. Bryan Acheampong has dismissed a video circulating on social media that allegedly shows the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful blaming former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the Kusasi–Mamprusi conflict.
In a statement released on Sunday, the team described the footage as a “deliberately doctored” clip that misrepresented Dr. Acheampong’s actual comments.
According to the clarification, Dr. Acheampong had referred to Dr. Bawumia as a “victim of circumstance” rather than attributing any responsibility for division to him. The campaign stressed that Dr. Acheampong holds great respect for Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and contributions to peacebuilding.
The statement further explained that tribal tensions were politically weaponised by opponents during the 2024 elections to weaken the NPP in certain regions and warned that the party must address such divisions with unity to regain lost ground.
“Dr. Acheampong’s message is not about sowing division. It is about uniting the NPP behind a winning candidate and strategy. His campaign is built on principles of unity, openness, and results,” the statement noted.
The team urged party supporters and the general public to disregard misleading edits and to review the full recording of Dr. Acheampong’s remarks before forming judgments.
