During a meeting over the weekend, delegates in the Assin Central Constituency showed their defiance against the dictatorial orders of the Constituency Chairman Attakora Amaniammpong.

Despite being allegedly ordered not to accept and wear Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's t-shirts, the delegates resisted the chairman's directives and chose to wear the t-shirts during their meeting with the Vice President.

Attakora Amaniammpong, the Constituency Chairman for Assin Central, had allegedly instructed the polling station executives and electoral area coordinators not to accept or wear Dr. Bawumia's t-shirts when he visited Assin Central as part of his Central Regional tour on Sunday, July 30, 2023.

However, the delegates chose to exercise their own judgment and asserted their support for the Vice President by wearing the t-shirts despite the Chairman's orders.

“We were told never to accept any t-shirt from the Bawumia campaign team for obvious reasons, but we have decided not to abide by this order” a polling station chairman stated.

Another delegate spoke about the order and why they had decided to defy it.

“This is democracy. We are one party and family. Why should we mistreat Dr. Bawumia because an aspirant comes from here? If Dr. Bawumia wins, how can we go out there to campaign for him to become president if we maltreat him today? This is why I am in his t-shirt,” he intimated.

The delegates heartily welcomed Vice President Bawumia as they praised him for his competent leadership.

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia is on his campaign tour in the Central Region and visited the Assin Central Constituency.
