Dombo—to argue that Dr Bawumia does not enjoy the backing of Dombo’s ancestral family or the constituency at large. Addressing the criticism, Dr Amoakoh acknowledged the NPP’s historical struggles in Jirapa, noting that the party has never won the parliamentary seat since the start of the Fourth Republic in 1992. However, she stressed that this reality predates Dr Bawumia’s leadership ambitions and should not be laid at his doorstep. “The fact that the NPP has not won Jirapa since 1992 is a blot on the conscience of the party as a whole, not a problem that started with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. She argued that such support undermines claims that Jirapa has decisively rejected Dr Bawumia or his political lineage.
