    Blame Asantehene. I suspect he wanted his family member as part of the ticket, so he could extend his chieftancy powers to other Regions. Starving Ghanaians had other plans, it seems.

    Please, NAPO is NOT an Ashanti. NAPO mother come from Akyem. So NAPO is an Akyem Mafia. Akuffo Addo Akyem Msafia put NAPO there instead of Alan Kyerematen. NAPO father is an Ashanti but NAPO come from his mothers family

    Exactly! Dr Adutwum was on my mind too. Guy looks like a pentecostal. He would have secured those votes for Bawumia.

    Presisely the point.
    Dr. Adutwum would have been a much better person to complement the type of vision Dr. Bawumia has.

    That is an obvious fact which does not need advanced/specialist research to prove.
