The Campaign Team for Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has denied claims by Mr Kennedy Agyapong who is also a contender in the New Patriotic Party’s Flagbearership race that he was offered $800 million to step down.
According to the team, Dr Bawumia has not met privately with Kennedy Agyapong since he entered the race.
Also, the team said the Vice President has never instructed anybody to meet with Kennedy Agyapong, or his assigns to negotiate anything in respect of this contest.
In a statement signed by team’s spokesperson, Gideon Boako, Ph.D, it stated that,”The Vice President and his team consider this $800 million claim as absolutely ridiculous, and it shows gross disregard for the intelligence of Ghanaians.”

It added that,”Dr. Bawumia is, and has always been confident that by the Grace of God, he will defeat Hon. Kennedy Agyapong quite well on November 4th and has never entertained any wish for him to step down from the contest.”
The team said the latest allegation by Kennedy Agyapong is a rehash of a similar allegation he made about a month ago, claiming without proof, that he was offered money to step down and be a running mate to Dr Bawumia, adding that this was a baseless claim the team publicly denied on September 30, 2023.
“The Vice President is a man noted for his modesty, and he remains committed to his life-long values of serving people with his intellect,” it stated.
Meanwhile, the team urged the public to disregard the claims by Mr Agyapong, saying they were outrageous lies.
“While urging the public to disregard such outrageous lies, directed subtly at the Bawumia Campaign, we also reiterate Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to running a decent campaign devoid of personality attacks, lies, and insults to preserve the unity of our great party.
