Dennis Miracles Aboagye has dismissed claims of an error in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for presidential aspirants, describing the controversy at the signing ceremony as unnecessary and self-inflicted.
In a Facebook post reacting to the incident, Mr. Aboagye explained that the MoU was circulated to all presidential aspirants well ahead of the signing on Sunday, January 18, 2026, by the Presidential Elections Committee (PEC). According to him, copies were sent directly to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, Joojo Rocky, Charles Bissue, and other aspirants, while Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and members of his team also received the document.
He stressed that the contents of the MoU were known to all aspirants prior to the signing, rejecting suggestions that there was an error in the document. Mr. Aboagye attributed the disruption at the ceremony to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong’s refusal to sign unless Clause Two was removed or altered.
Clause Two of the MoU commits all aspirants to accept the results of the January 31, 2026, presidential primary and to respect the outcome as a valid, authentic, and binding expression of the will of party delegates.
Mr. Aboagye noted that the PEC stood firm on maintaining the clause, describing it as the most important provision in the entire MoU. He argued that allowing individual aspirants to amend or remove clauses to suit personal preferences would have undermined the agreement entirely.
He further stated that the Chairman and Secretary of the Presidential Elections Committee have publicly clarified that there was no error in the MoU, contrary to speculation following the incident.
Mr. Aboagye concluded by urging party members to avoid actions that project the NPP in a negative light, insisting that disagreements over the acceptance clause should not be framed as errors in an otherwise clear and widely circulated document.
