A leading New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has maintained his stance to campaign without recourse despite what he terms as incessant and unwanted attacks and fabricated accusations in the party’s internal contest.
The Abetifi lawmaker’s assertions follows backlash over a viral video suggesting he blamed fellow aspirant, Mahamudu Bawumia, for the Mamprusi–Kusasi conflict in the north. Dr. Acheampong’s campaign team has rejected those footage as “mischievously pieced together and venomously captioned.”
In a statement released on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, the MP emphasized the bizarre falsehoods schemed to just smear propaganda against his candidacy but insisted he remains resolute and focused on his vision.
Part of the statement reads, “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,” it said.
Dr. Acheampong maintained that the flagbearer race must be anchored on ideas and vision and not prejudice, inuendos and insults. He has however appealed to his supporters to remain disciplined and avoid personal and reprisal 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,” it added.
