Accra, Ghana – January 20, 2026 Internal divisions within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have intensified as outspoken party stalwart Kennedy Agyapong launched fresh criticisms against Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Agyapong’s remarks, which questioned the Vice President’s leadership strength, have sparked heated debate among party members and supporters as the NPP prepares for its upcoming primaries. Analysts say the comments reflect growing unease within the party’s ranks over succession and the future direction of its leadership.
The development has reignited discussions about unity and discipline within the ruling party, with some members urging restraint to avoid deepening cracks ahead of the primaries. Political observers warn that continued public disputes could undermine the NPP’s image and electoral prospects, while others argue that open debate is a sign of healthy internal democracy. As the primaries draw closer, the party faces mounting pressure to resolve internal wrangling and present a united front to the electorate.
