(Video) NPP campaign team booed by youth in Kumasi-Adum
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) campaign team faced an unexpected reception earlier yesterday in Kumasi-Adum, as they were booed by some youths while calling for change. The incident marks a rare moment of discontent in the Ashanti Region, a traditional stronghold of the NPP.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the NPP, has been traversing the country as part of his campaign tour, promising to bring development and progress to all regions. However, his message seemingly fell flat with some youths in Kumasi-Adum, who expressed their displeasure by booing the campaign team.
Dr. Bawumia’s political ambition has been on the rise since he became Vice President in 2017. He has been instrumental in the NPP’s efforts to consolidate power and had been touted as a potential presidential candidate in the future and this came to pass as he was chosen as the flagbearer of the party.
However, today’s incident may indicate a crack in the NPP’s armor in the Ashanti Region, which has consistently voted for the party in past elections.
The Ashanti Region has been a stronghold of the NPP since the party’s inception, with many seeing it as a bastion of support for the party’s ideals. However, today’s booing incident may suggest that some youths in the region are growing disillusioned with the party’s promises and are seeking alternative options.
The NPP campaign team has yet to comment on the incident, but it is likely to be a cause for concern as they move forward with their campaign. As the political landscape continues to shift, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact Dr. Bawumia’s political ambitions and the NPP’s chances in the upcoming elections.
