Presidential hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Abetifi Lawmaker, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has spoken on his extensive campaign tour across Ghana, making the only aspirant to have visited every part of the country.
Speaking to party delegates at a rally in Kumasi on Wednesday, Dr. Acheampong criticised some of his rivals for failing to reach all constituencies in their campaigns.
He noted that while an opponent recently claimed to have completed his campaign, he had only visited nine out of the 15 constituencies in the Upper East Region and did not reach the Bawku zone.
According to Dr. Acheampong, other contenders, including former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, and former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, faced similar limitations in their tours.
Dr. Acheampong highlighted his own campaign efforts, stating that he personally visited the Bawku zone, campaigned in Kusasi land, and also reached Mamprusi land.
He stressed that comprehensive national engagement is essential for anyone aspiring to lead the party.
Dr Acheampong stressed, “I have been able to campaign across the country. I am the only one who has been able to campaign across the entire country. Today, I saw one of my opponents say that he has completed his campaign, but when he went to the Upper East Region, he could not reach the Bawku zone.
“He only visited nine out of the 15 constituencies in the region. Ken did the same. Bawumia did the same. I am the only one who went to the Bawku zone, campaigned in Kusasi land, and also visited Mamprusi land.
“If you want to lead the NPP and become the presidential candidate, you have to campaign in all constituencies. If you want to lead this party, you must tour the entire country, just as I have done.”
