A member of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Communication Team, Nana Akomea, has joined the many who believe that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are worried by the candidature of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

During an interview on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana this week, Nana Akomea revealed that he came by the realisation after carefully assessing the actions of the opposition party.

According to him, out of the 10 individuals contesting in the flagbearer race of the NPP, none but one has been heavily criticised in the campaign message of members of the NDC.

He stated that Dr Bawumia has been singled out by the NDC due to his influence. He asserted that the party is deliberately discrediting the Vice President to make him unpopular before the public.

"People say it, but I have not given the seriousness to that. But people say that the NDC is really afraid of Bawumia.

"Alan has filed and I didn't hear NDC talk about Alan's filing and criticizing him like they are doing to Bawumia. Why will the NDC focus on one person out of the 11 or 12 candidates," he said.

Nana Akomea is not the only individual who shares such thoughts. The Vice President, the subject of the matter, also believes so since he asserts that the NDC will lose majority of its votes in the north should he contest.

"They know John Mahama cannot take me on in the North. I will beat him in the North. This is why they don't want me be to flagbearer," Dr Bawumia said to some NPP supporters over the weekend.
