In a surprising twist within the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary race, a key member of Kwabena Agyei Agyepong’s campaign team has resigned and declared support for former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
The defection has sent ripples through internal party circles, as the individual, who served as a campaign manager for Kwabena Agyepong, cited “strategic alignment” and “the broader interest of party unity” as reasons for the switch. The move is seen as a significant boost for Dr. Bawumia’s camp as the race tightens ahead of the party’s crucial presidential primary.
Though Kwabena Agyepong Campaign has not officially responded to the development, sources within his campaign describe the defection as “unexpected but not destabilizing,” insisting that the former General Secretary remains focused on running an issue-based campaign rooted in party reform and governance credibility.
Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia’s team has welcomed the move, describing it as evidence of growing confidence in the former Vice President’s leadership and economic expertise. Campaign insiders say the defection adds to a series of endorsements that continue to broaden the candidate’s support base across key constituencies and party structures.
