Professor Ransford Gyampo, a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Ghana, has warned that MPs for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who endorsed Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia may lose their seats.

In the recently concluded presidential primary, Dr. Bawumia’s nearest competitor Kennedy Agyapong prevailed in the majority of the constituencies where the incumbent MPs supported him.

These comprise, among others, Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro, Effutu, Awutu Senya East, Ayawaso West Wuogon, Ayawaso Central, Gomoa Central, and Amasaman.

Reacting to this on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Monday, Prof Gyampo said the MPs of the above constituencies are sitting on a ticking time bomb.

“These MPs couldn’t deliver their constituencies to Bawumia despite their public support. This shows they don’t have control and if they don’t take care, they will lose their seats,” he predicted.

After garnering 61.47% of the vote in a hotly contested election, Dr. Bawumia was chosen as the NPP’s flagbearer.

He defeated Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, the former minister of agriculture, Kennedy Agyapong, the MP for Assin Central, and Francis Addai-Nimoh, the former MP for Mampong.
