Former Member of Parliament for Tema West, Mr. Carlos Ahenkorah, has refuted claims that he has endorsed a particular candidate in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming presidential primaries.

This follows the circulation of a one-minute audio clip on social media, which many have interpreted as an endorsement. According to Mr. Ahenkorah, while the voice in the recording is indeed his, the clip was a “cut-and-paste” extraction from a longer interview he granted on Okay FM regarding the abrogation of the cocoa syndication loan.

He explained that the full interview lasted about 40 minutes, during which he assessed all the leading contenders in the presidential race.

Mr. Ahenkorah stated that his conclusion was that Mr. Bryan Acheampong, given the divisive posture of other candidates’ supporters, stands out as the most capable figure to unify the NPP and secure victory in the 2028 general elections.

“To isolate and amplify a mention of one candidate’s name, while ignoring the full context, is misleading and unacceptable,” he said, stressing that such distortions undermine honest political discourse.

Mr. Ahenkorah reaffirmed his support for Dr. Bryan Acheampong, describing him as the candidate best positioned to unite the party ahead of the 2028 polls.
