Dr. Patrick Ekye Kwesie, special aide to Samia Nkrumah, has denied allegations made by Deputy Minority Leader Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah.
Buah had claimed that Samia’s independent candidacy is being sponsored by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking at the NDC campaign launch in Jomoro Constituency on August 25, Buah alleged that in 2009, former President Atta Mills had asked Samia to remain neutral and not align with any major party.
Buah claimed that Samia, despite agreeing to this, ultimately aligned with the NPP, which, according to him, led to missed development opportunities for Jomoro.
Dr. Kwesie has refuted these claims, describing them as unfounded and mischievous.
He emphasized that Samia’s decision to run as an independent candidate reflects her dedication to serving the people of Jomoro Constituency impartially.
“That’s not true. Samia has always been a candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and has now chosen to run as an independent candidate.
There is no truth to the claims being made. She has never been affiliated with the NPP or NDC, and now she’s being labeled as independent-minded and committed to serving the people of Jomoro.
We must disregard these false claims and recognize her as a genuine independent candidate.” He stated.
