The NPP Bold Ladies of the Eastern Region have criticised 15 NPP MPs they accuse of undermining party unity and working against Dr Bryan Acheampong.

In a statement signed by Wilhemina Ayesu, Dora Quashie, and Elizabeth A. Atuobi, the group expressed “great disappointment” with the conduct of the MPs, branding their recent actions as selfish and destructive.

Earlier, the MPs, led by Achiase lawmaker Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, had declared support for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

But the Bold Ladies say their latest statement “gives true meaning” to Speaker Alban Bagbin’s criticism that some MPs behave “like kindergarten pupils,” eroding public respect for Parliament.

“We shall not allow them to mortgage the future of the region and the party at large for their personal gains or gratification. Hate and envy can’t and won’t win,” the statement said.

The group accused some of the MPs of pocketing campaign funds that Dr Bryan Acheampong allegedly provided during the last general elections.

According to them, monies meant for polling station executives were diverted, leaving many grassroots members angry.

“Anytime Dr Acheampong mentions the support offered, it becomes evident that many of the MPs have pocketed the money,” the Bold Ladies charged, calling on the MPs to refund the cash.

The group praised Dr Acheampong for his sacrifices and described his campaign as one anchored on truth, honesty, transparency, and unity.

They said his candid disclosures about internal financial support had unsettled some elements within the party, but must be commended rather than condemned.

“To our 15 MPs, you have lost the plot and missed the road. You must be aware that we are many, and you are few. We shall fight for Dr Bryan, and we shall fight for our party,” the statement declared.
