Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia (left) shakes hands with Bryan Acheampong

It was all joy when former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia met his possible contender for the NPP flagbearership position, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong, at the funeral rites of the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II.

Dr Bawumia, who was the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate for the 2024 election, has indicated his intention to lead the party once again in the 2028 election.

Bryan Acheampong, a former Minister of Food and Agriculture, also recently set up a committee to explore the feasibility of his presidential ambition.

When the two men met at the late Mamponghene’s funeral on Sunday, June 8, 2025, the former vice president appeared to express his view about the Abetifi MP’s ambitions.

Bryan Acheampong is seen saying to the former vice president, “You are here,” after which the two men shook hands and burst into laughter.

Dr Bawumia then retorted, “You want to worry me,” as the two men were seen laughing heartily.
