Member of Parliament and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has intensified the tone of the party’s internal contest by openly accusing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of dishonesty.
Speaking during a campaign tour of the Central Region, Agyapong stated bluntly, “Let me repeat it again: he is a liar. I can list a whole lot of things he has said that were lies.”
The remarks come as the NPP prepares for its presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.

According to Agyapong, several messages and claims allegedly circulated by supporters of Dr. Bawumia about his person are false and deliberately misleading.
He argued that these narratives are part of a broader attempt to distort his record and undermine his credibility within the party.
While he did not provide a detailed list of the alleged falsehoods at the event, he maintained that he is prepared to substantiate his claims.
The former Assin Central MP used the platform to appeal directly to party delegates and supporters in the Central Region, urging them to look beyond propaganda and assess candidates based on integrity, courage, and proven commitment to the party.
He presented himself as a forthright and fearless leader, capable of speaking uncomfortable truths and confronting corruption and internal weaknesses head-on.
Agyapong also emphasized his long-standing contributions to the NPP, arguing that loyalty and sacrifice should count in the selection of the party’s next flagbearer.
He called on delegates to place their trust in him, framing the upcoming primaries as a decisive moment for the future direction of the party.
The comments add to the growing intensity of the NPP’s internal race, which has increasingly featured sharp exchanges among leading contenders.
