The spokesperson for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has strongly rejected claims that there were errors in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the presidential aspirants of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to Aboagye, the protest by Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, during the MoU signing ceremony was unnecessary and based on a misunderstanding of the document’s contents.

He argued that the dispute was not about mistakes in the MoU but centred around Agyapong’s objection to a specific clause.

Aboagye clarified that the controversy stemmed from a key clause in the MoU, which required all aspirants to respect the outcome of the NPP’s presidential primary scheduled for January 31, 2026.

The clause in question stipulated that candidates must accept the election results as “valid, authentic, and binding,” without contesting the collective decision made by party delegates.

This clause, Aboagye stated, was crucial to ensuring unity and discipline within the party during the internal race.

“The issue was not an error in the MoU. The only issue was Hon Agyapong’s request for the removal of a very important clause, which was rightfully rejected by the Presidential Elections Committee (PEC),” Aboagye explained.

He emphasised that all aspirants were fully aware of the MoU’s content well before the signing ceremony, as the PEC had distributed copies of the document to each candidate on January 18, 2026.

This ensured that no one was caught off guard or subjected to last-minute changes.

Dennis Miracles further clarified that copies of the MoU were circulated to all key aspirants, including Kennedy Agyapong, Joojo Rocky, and Charles Bissue. Dr Bawumia also received his copy, which he shared with his campaign team.

Therefore, any suggestion that the disagreement arose due to errors or last-minute revisions was unfounded, Aboagye added.

The spokesperson for Bawumia emphasised that the clause Agyapong contested was vital for maintaining peace and order within the party.

“If each aspirant were allowed to request personal amendments to the MoU, there would be no agreement at all,” Aboagye stated.

“The NPP is a large and diverse organisation. We must prioritise collective interests over individual preferences to preserve the integrity of the process.”

Both the Chairman and Secretary of the Presidential Elections Committee have since issued public statements supporting Aboagye’s position, confirming that no errors were made in the MoU.

The PEC clarified that the clause regarding the acceptance of primary results was not negotiable, stressing that it was a standard part of the party’s electoral framework.

As the January 31 primaries approach, Aboagye urged all NPP members and aspirants to focus on the bigger picture: unity and discipline.
