Former MP for Assin Central and Presidential Candidate hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, has jabbed former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to him, despite Dr Bawumia's self-proclaimed 'rich ideas', he so far has nothing to show for it.

His comment is in response to remarks by Dr Bawumia during a meeting with former Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) who served under the NPP government between 2017-2024.

During the meeting held at Alisa Hotel on Monday, June 23, Dr Bawumia stated that whilst he may not be a rich man compared to his opponent (Kennedy Agyapong), he has 'rich ideas' to lead the country, noting that "poor people can also be presidents of Ghana."

However, in response, Mr Agyapong wrote in a social media post:

"In this world, some have rich ideas and nothing to show for it. Others turn ideas into results and wealth. Ghana needs more doers, not dreamers in suits giving speeches."

The latest exchanges come amid heightening tensions amongst the NPP ahead of the party's presidential primaries scheduled for Saturday,  January 31, 2026.
