During a campaign tour of Adenta Constituency on Sunday, January 11, 2026, NPP presidential hopeful Kennedy Agyapong alleged that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia did not support the party’s parliamentary candidates in the area.
According to Agyapong, the NPP lost the Adenta seat because Bawumia reportedly refused to campaign for Akosua Manu, citing her opponent, Mohammed Ramadan of the NDC, as a relative by marriage. He also described Adenta as a “traditional NPP seat.”
However, both electoral records and visual evidence contradict these claims. Data from past elections show that Adenta has not been a stronghold for the NPP.
Since the constituency’s creation, the NDC has won four out of six parliamentary elections, while the NPP has secured victory twice. In the last five elections, the NPP won only in 2016, whereas the NDC took the seat in 2008, 2012, 2020, and 2024.
Video and pictorial records shared by Akosua Manu further show that Dr Bawumia actively campaigned for NPP parliamentary candidates in Adenta.
On November 27, 2020, he appeared alongside Yaw Buaben Asamoah, the NPP candidate, urging voters to support both the party and President Akufo-Addo during events at Ashale Botwe Mosque.
He also campaigned for Akosua Manu in September 2024, participating in multiple constituency events.
Given the constituency’s electoral history and the documented evidence of Dr Bawumia’s active participation in NPP campaigns, Kennedy Agyapong’s claims are therefore FALSE.
