Politics of Sunday, 18 June 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comNew Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Boakye Agyarko, has refuted suggestions that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia should be made the presidential candidate of the party to honour the Dombo tradition of the party. According to him, making any person from the northern part of Ghana the presidential candidate of the NPP cannot be equated to honouring Simon Diedong Dombo, a founding member of the Northern Peoples Party (NPP), who played a critical role in the formation of the NPP. Speaking in an interview on Oman FM, Boakye Agyarko, a former minister of energy, said that if the NPP wants to honour Dombo they should look for his living relatives who,he said, have been neglected by the party. I can tell you on authority, his children Hajara and Sandra are there, who has asked about them before. You want to honour Dombo but you gave his grandchild a competition which made her lose her position.
