Former Member of Parliament for Kade and campaign manager for Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries, Ofosu Asamoah, has officially defected to the campaign team of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

He made the announcement during a campaign stop, where he appeared publicly with Dr. Bawumia for the first time since switching allegiance.

Explaining his decision, Ofosu Asamoah said he had reassessed the direction of the NPP primaries and concluded that Dr. Bawumia represents the party’s best chance moving forward.

Addressing party delegates, he expressed strong confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s prospects ahead of the 2028 general elections.

“It is the same Ofosu Asamoah you see here. My relationship with Dr. Bawumia and his team is not new; I was simply not supporting him earlier this year. But in life, when you realize something isn’t right, you change your course.

I have observed events closely, and as campaign manager for Kwabena Agyepong, I don’t think things are going as expected. I have therefore decided to switch camps, and I believe Dr. Bawumia is the next president,” he stated.
