The campaign team of the Vice President, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to disregard a video with stockpile of cash purporting to be from his camp to share to delegates ahead of Saturday’s super delegates conference.

According to Dr Bawumia’s campaign team, the allegations are untrue and a fabrication of his detractors. 

In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 22, signed by his Spokesman, Dr Gideon Boako, he described the incident as unfortunate and unhealthy for the party. 

“It is so unfortunate that this old video has been adopted by opponents of Dr Bawumia, who have maliciously captioned it and circulating it widely.”

“This malicious propaganda should be treated with the greatest contempt.”

The video, said to have popped up in 2020 in the run-up to that year’s election, shows some unidentified people stockpiling cash in an unknown location.

But the latest version comes with a caption that the stockpile of cash is meant to be distributed to delegates ahead of Saturday’s election to influence them to vote for Dr Bawumia.

“Dr Bawumia’s campaign has been conducted in the most frugal manner, as has been testified to by delegates,” he stated.

He thus urged the supporters of the other contestants “to embark on genuine decent campaigns, devoid of lies, and mudslinging.

"It is such a decent campaign that the NPP will benefit from" the statement noted.

The NPP will on Saturday, August 26 select five aspirants out of ten for the November 4 presidential primary.

So far, 10 persons have filed nominations and passed vetting for Saturday’s exercise.
