No Error in NPP Peace Pact — Miracles Aboagye
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for the Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia Campaign Team, has dismissed claims that there was an error in the peace pact signed by presidential aspirants of the party, describing the controversy as “needless self-embarrassment.”
His comments follow events at the signing ceremony on Thursday, January 22, 2026, where one of the contenders, Kennedy Agyapong, was seen raising concerns with party officials, triggering speculation that the document presented differed from what had earlier been agreed.
Subsequently, Kwasi Kwarteng, spokesperson for the Kennedy Agyapong Campaign Team, explained that Mr. Agyapong objected after noticing that the document omitted a clause stating that voting centres would also serve as collation centres where results would be declared.
He further claimed that aspirants were not given copies of the peace pact ahead of the ceremony to familiarise themselves with its contents.
However, in a Facebook post on Friday, January 23, 2026, Mr. Aboagye rejected those assertions, insisting that all aspirants had prior knowledge of the document.
“ENOUGH OF THE DRAMA – THERE WAS NO ERROR. IT WAS A NEEDLESS SELF-EMBARRASSMENT,” he stated.
According to Mr. Aboagye, the Presidential Elections Committee circulated copies of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to all aspirants on Sunday, January 18, 2026, adding that copies were sent directly to Mr. Agyapong, Joojo Rocky, and Charles Bissue.
“The content of the MoU was known by all aspirants ahead of the signing yesterday,” he said.
Mr. Aboagye explained that the disagreement stemmed from Mr. Agyapong’s objection to Clause 2 of the MoU, which deals with the acceptance of the presidential primary results.
“Clause 2 reads Acceptance of Presidential Election Results: ‘We commit to accepting the results of the January 31, 2026, Presidential Primary of the Party, and we will respect the outcome, irrespective of the result. We further reiterate and pledge to accept the outcome as a valid, authentic, and binding expression of the will of the Delegates and the collective decision of the Party,’” he quoted.
He said it was Mr. Agyapong’s insistence on the removal or alteration of that clause that led to the scenes witnessed at the ceremony, adding that the Presidential Elections Committee maintained the clause was “the most important” part of the MoU and could not be tampered with.
“There was no error. It was rather a request from Hon. Ken for the removal of an important clause which has to do with the acceptance of the results by all aspirants,” Mr. Aboagye stated.
He added that both the Chairman and Secretary of the Presidential Elections Committee had clarified that the document contained no errors, warning that allowing individual aspirants to insist on changes would have derailed the entire pact-signing process.
“It’s okay if you don’t agree with Clause 2 of the MoU, which is about acceptance of the result in case of loss, but you can’t force everyone to agree with you when that’s the most important clause,” he said.
Mr. Aboagye urged party members to avoid actions that put the party “in a bad light,” insisting that the MoU remains intact and available for scrutiny.
