In a riveting exchange, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a spokesperson for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign, and accomplished broadcaster Bridget Otoo engaged in a passionate discourse, focusing on the pivotal matters of campaign financing and reported vehicle imports.
Bridget Otoo’s quest to shed light on the allegations leveled by certain contenders in the New Patriotic Party’s presidential race, pertaining to the origin of funds for Bawumia’s campaign, hit a wall as Dennis Miracles Aboagye persistently interjected, leaving her inquiries unaddressed.
Dennis Aboagye vehemently dismissed Bridget Otoo’s queries as misinformation and propagandistic in nature, particularly her line of questioning regarding the purported importation of vehicles for the campaign.
Skillfully shifting the onus onto Bridget Otoo, Aboagye insisted that she provide tangible evidence to substantiate her assertion that the Bawumia campaign was lavishly funded.
Staunchly defending his position, Aboagye, who serves within the Jubilee House ranks, refuted the claims, maintaining that Dr. Bawumia’s campaign was being conducted in a cost-efficient manner.
The exchange unfurled as follows:
Bridget: For instance, the vehicle he imported …
Dennis: Which vehicles? Have you seen any document that indicates that Dr. Bawumia has imported vehicles? The campaign has already refuted the claim of vehicle imports by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Bridget: I inquired about the campaign’s funding source.

Bridget: Have I not posed that question about the funding source before? Dennis: I am reiterating that the assertion of Dr. Bawumia importing vehicles is baseless. That claim is utterly false. I have substantiated this. No evidence of manifests or invoices supporting Dr. Bawumia’s vehicle imports has been presented. We are resolute in not allowing any individual, including yourself, to impose unfounded narratives upon us. Additionally, there has been no excessive expenditure by Dr. Bawumia’s campaign beyond legitimate bounds. Your assertions are speculative and lack factual basis. Your role should be centered on verification and authentication.
Bridget: The verification process and discussions with my producers… I have personally witnessed it. These individuals closely associated with Bawumia’s campaign…
Dennis: The issue with your argument lies in the fact that ten individuals are vying for candidacy, and mistakenly, you are ascribing the actions of many to one person’s campaign.
Bridget: Why would these claims be made against your candidate?
Dennis: Are these not the same individuals who propagated the false claim of vehicle imports?
Bridget: The claim is not unfounded.
NPP Presidential Primaries
Scheduled for Saturday, August 26, 2023, the NPP is set to convene a special delegates congress, in which 956 select party members will cast their votes to narrow the field of flagbearer candidates down to five, in anticipation of a broader congress in November.
Preceding the election, Mr. Kyerematen’s faction has accused the vice president of employing intimidation and incentives to secure the backing of incumbent MPs and government appointees.
In response, the vice president’s camp contends that the support garnered from MPs and appointees reflects the collective will of the party’s foundation.
