Dr Bryan Acheampong
The Bryan Acheampong campaign team has reacted to claims by some constituency organisers of the opposition New Patriotic Party in the Ashanti Region that Dr. Bryan Acheampong is to be blamed for Election 2024 defeat.

“The attempted acquisition of majority shares in SSNIT hotels by Dr Bryan Acheampong while serving as a Minister of State constituted a serious breach of public trust and a major contributing factor to our defeat” Part of the statement read.
The organisers claim that the act alone caused the then ruling party as contributors to SSNIT not only voted against the NPP but also embarked on a campaign to ensure the NPP lost the election.
