The internal contest within the camp of the ruling New Patriotic Party took an unpatriotic and unacceptable direction with the verbal accusations and insinuations from the Vice President, HE Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia against his main contender Hon Alan Kyeremanten.
The Vice President, as part of his usual unprovoked attacks, verbally bruised the image of his main contender, Hon Alan Kyerematen, portraying the former Trade and Industry Minister as divisive character.
In his address to a section of NPP delegates in Greater Accra, the Vice President was seen casting accusations and aspersions on the persona of Hon Alan Kyerematen with the excuse that he Alhaji Bawumia was the only unifier in the elephant fraternity.
According to the Vice President, the return of Hon Kofi Dzemasi and Hon Fredrick Opare Ansah from the camp of Hon Alan Kyerematen to his camp was enough reasons to conclude his so-called unifying character and by extension insinuating the divisive nature of the former Trade and Industry Minister.
Hon Kofi Dzemasi, former minister for chieftaincy, and Hon Fredrick Opare-Ansah, former MP for Suhim were the former campaign manager and Director of Operations respectively for Hon Alan Kyerematen's 2014 Presidential primary campaign.
Speaking to some political experts who agreed on anonymity, the conduct of the Vice President could be injurious to the general welfare of the party ahead of the main elections.
Revered political party pundits urged Bawumia to stop attacking the brand and persona of his other rivals if he has the party at heart.
Having developed the habit of attacking his political opponents without any provocations, the Vice President appeared to have developed a taste for acidic words on any political podium.
