NPP campaigner, Kofi Aboagye questions Michael Okyere Baafi's bid to contest the seat again.

Th e intention of the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, Michael Okyere Baafi, regarding contesting the 2028 parliamentary seat remains subject to speculation, following a series of conflicting statements and party developments . 

While the MP previously made strong declarations about stepping down, more recent comments and local party actions suggest he might still contest. 

The National Campaigner for the New Patriotic Party, Kofi Aboagye has questioned his bid to contest for the seat again.

According to him, Mr. Baafi earlier told the party members that he will not seek re-election after his current term.

He claimed his initial political goal of correcting certain parliamentary processes in Koforidua was done, and he intended to return to the corporate world.

He wondered what informed his decision to change his decision to contest the seat again. 

Speaking on GBC Sunrise FM morning show adeakyebea in Koforidua, Mr. Aboagye said he has no problem of him contesting the primaries but was against the constituency chairman declaring him unposed ahead of the primaries on his TikTok page. 

He therefore called on the national party executives to intervene to have the issue solved in order not to cause the party in the 2028 general elections.
