A former Metropolitan Chief Executive for Yilo Krobo and a member of the campaign team for Bryan Acheampong, Mr. Eric Tetteh, says endorsements of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia by party leaders at various levels could be “bought endorsements” and not genuine support.
He stated that the larger delegates of the party will on January 31, 2026, vote massively for Bryan Acheampong because he is a unifier, dedicated, visionary, and the only one who has what it takes to secure victory for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) come December 7, 2028.
Speaking in an interview on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he questioned the genuineness of those declaring support for Dr. Bawumia.
“What’s the total number of delegates, and how many have declared for Bawumia? We are not scared by these declarations. If you want people to declare for you, there are ways of doing that. You can buy these declarations. We have no interest in buying declarations. I have not said that Dr. Bawumia bought declarations, but anyhow you choose to interpret it, that’s fine. If we decide to buy declarations, we can do so, but we don’t have an interest in doing that,” he told host Kwabena Agyapong.
He was optimistic that irrespective of the surveys and opinion polls that have declared the results in favour of a particular candidate, the real verdict will be on January 31, 2026.
“The real verdict will be on January 31, 2026. We are not scared or bothered. Some of the candidates have contested before. We have our plan we will execute towards the election. Team Bryan remains optimistic in securing victory. The surveys don’t scare us. On January 31, 2026, the true verdict will be delivered,” he said.
He added that “From our campaigns and message delivered, the delegates have realized that Dr. Bryan Acheampong is the only person who can secure victory for the NPP in 2028. He is a unifier. A man with a vision. I would appeal to the delegates to vote massively for Bryan Acheampong. If our focus is to secure victory in 2028 as a party, then he is the one for that. He has what it takes to unite us. Judging from what is happening in the camps of Kennedy and Bawumia, it is obvious that it would be extremely difficult for any of them to win the 2028 elections. Bryan Acheampong has no skeletons in his cupboard. He will secure all the votes from all the regions, especially the youth. If we want power in 2028, then we should not elect somebody who will come and do try and error. Don’t forget that in 2028, the majority will be the youth who will be looking for change, and if there is any candidate to secure the youth votes, it is Bryan Acheampong. “
