The NPP Bold Ladies of the Eastern Region have expressed strong disappointment with a group of 15 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament, accusing them of placing personal interests above the party’s welfare.

In a statement, the group referenced earlier actions of the MPs, led by Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo, MP for Achiase, who had publicly declared support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia at a press conference in the region.

The group condemned the conduct of the lawmakers, describing it as divisive and a betrayal of party unity. They recalled Speaker Alban Bagbin’s caution on July 10, 2024, that the public holds Parliament in low regard because of the behavior of some MPs, which he likened to “kindergarten pupils.”

According to the Bold Ladies, the actions of the 15 MPs exemplify the very concerns raised by the Speaker.

“We wish to register our disapproval towards their actions and assure them that we shall not allow them to mortgage the future of the region and the party at large for their personal gains or gratification. They should be advised that hate and envy can’t and won’t win,” the statement said.

The group further alleged that while Dr. Bryan Acheampong had provided financial support to facilitate the party’s grassroots campaigns during the last general election, some MPs diverted the funds meant for polling stations.

“Many of our members have confirmed receiving the support, just that they were not informed about the source. Some, however, have not received and have expressed anger at some MPs. Anytime Dr. Acheampong mentions the support, it becomes evident that many of the MPs have pocketed the money,” the statement alleged.

The Bold Ladies called on the MPs to refund the monies to their constituencies and show gratitude to Dr. Bryan Acheampong, whom they praised for his contributions to the party.

“Dr. Bryan Acheampong’s campaign is anchored on truth, honesty, transparency, and party unity. He has done what many could not and did not do,” they stressed.

The group insisted that the MPs had “lost the plot and missed the road” and vowed to resist any attempts to undermine Dr. Acheampong’s efforts.

“We shall fight for Dr. Bryan, and we shall fight for our party,” the statement concluded.
