In an interview with Peace FM on April 15, 2025, Nana Akomea, the deputy chairman of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, responded to remarks made by Ernest Owusu Bempah, the NPP’s national communications director.
Akomea emphasized the value of party unity and civil discourse, advising Owusu Bempah to use caution and prudence in his public remarks about Dr. Bawumia.
Owusu Bempah was urged by Nana Akomea to be extremely careful with his remarks as he spoke with Nana Yaw Kesse on the “Kokorokoo” morning show.
How will you feel if Dr. Bawumia were elected president of Ghana? Why would you say these things to foment hatred?”
This appeal is made in light of earlier cases in which Akomea counseled public personalities to exercise restraint while making statements. He warned religious leaders, particularly Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah, in November 2024, for instance, against issuing contradictory predictions that might cause public doubt and damage the legitimacy of religious organizations.

Akomea’s steadfast position demonstrates his dedication to encouraging civil and fruitful dialogue in both political circles and the general public sphere.
Ernest Owusu Bempah recently urged the New Patriotic Party to refrain from fielding Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as its flagbearer in the upcoming general elections, citing his dismal performance in the previous one. This remark has generated discussions among Party members.
