Outspoken New Patriotic Party NPP Member of Parliament for Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Agyapong has said that if any person suspects foul play in Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia�s near fatal accident, his driver must be queried as well. Dr. Bawumia was involved in a serious accident on Sunday when the car in which he was travelling in skidded off the road and somersaulted several times after two of the back tires burst. The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Sir John is accusing unnamed officials of the National Democratic Congress of plotting to assassinate its vice presidential candidate in the 2012 elections, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. On Adom FM Tuesday morning, candid-speaking Kennedy Agyapong rather called on the party to query the driver since he was in-charge of the vehicle. �First of all, they (the NPP) have to check the company of the vehicle, maybe there might be a major fault from the manufactures. But here in Ghana we don�t normally do that, provided you have your car, you are done. There might be a foul play too; you can�t rule that one out but if there was a foul play and someone tempered with the tires, where was the driver? The driver after dropping Bawumia must be in the car 24/7. �It can also be just an accident because that happens all the time, it happened to me as well. I had a flat tire when cruising in my Rolls Royce and someone prompted me to be cautious. It would have been a bad news for me. It�s unfortunate but I will console my good friend Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, I think that such an unfortunate accident can happen to anyone. He (Bawumia) should just accept that as an accident,� he said.
