The governing National Democratic Congress has dismissed allegations its security officials are to blame for the near fatal accident involving New Patriotic Party Vice Presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. Bawumia sustained minor injuries when his car he was travelling in somersaulted several times on the Bole road on Sunday. The back tires of his vehicle reportedly got burst which led to the car somersaulting. But officials of the NPP are accusing members of the NDC of being behind the accident. The party’s General Secretary Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie told Joy News the crash was premeditated. Even though he did not mention names or give any evidence to back his allegations he said the circumstances under which the accident occurred raises serious eye brows. He found it intriguing how an ambulance was waiting for Dr Bawumia at the Kotoka International airport in Accra when nobody at the ambulance service had been informed about the accident. According to him, prior to Dr Bawumia's accident, the party chairman Jake Obetsebi Lamptey also had the tires of his car bursting under similar and strange circumstances. Owusu Afriyie claimed the attack was plotted by the NDC to obliterate the NPP vice presidential candidate who has been instrumental in the party’s bid to overturn the Electoral Commission verdict of the 2012 General Elections. But the NDC has hit back. The party’s scribe Johnson Asiedu Nketia in an interview with Joy News has described the allegations as ridiculous and coming from “jokers.” He said if at all the accident was planned and carried out, then it may well come from within the NPP. According to him, Bawumia is not a true NPP member but was only drafted into the NPP fraternity in the 2008 elections adding, that people who are not happy with the frontline role given to the former Deputy Bank of Ghana governor may well be behind the plot to assassinate him.
