The Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira West, Rudolf Amoako-Gyampah, has condemned individuals who contributed to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) defeat in the 2024 elections with their public statements, yet later shift the blame onto others.

Describing such persons as hypocrites, Amoako-Gyampah said they refuse to own up to their roles and instead go about exonerating themselves while pointing fingers at others for the party’s loss.

Speaking on Monday September 29, 2025, at Twifo Praso during former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign tour, the MP revealed that he had high hopes for NPP victory in 2024 but grew concerned when he observed some party members publicly plotting to sabotage the party and its candidates for personal interests.

We will not drop already marketed Bawumia for an unknown face – Upper Denkyira West MP

“I had confidence that we would win the 2024 elections. But it reached a point where certain utterances against the party by some individuals, and certain plots to derail the course of the party, indicated that we were really in trouble,” he said.

“The truth is just one, and even if speaking it puts you at risk, you have to say it. No true NPP member will wash the party’s dirty linen in public and sabotage it as some did.”

Amoako-Gyampah added that the party’s defeat cannot be attributed to a single individual and criticized those attempting to blame one person.

“Everyone contributed to the defeat, so some people should stop being hypocritical. Why are they blaming only one person? They should be bold and admit they were part of the problem,” he said.

The MP urged the party to unite and work toward victory in 2028 by rallying behind Dr Bawumia.

“What we have to do is come together and push for victory. If we really want success in 2028, then we have to support someone we have already marketed to Ghanaians and who had 41% support when we presented him for the first time,” he said.

“If we drop such a person who has already been marketed and go for an unknown face, then as a party we are not serious about winning.”
