She explained that among the five candidates in the elections Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was the best because he had the best reputation and the right temperament, deserving of a presidential candidate.
She also credited Dr Bawumia's wealth of knowledge in Economics as an added advantage to his candidature. She argued further that the candidature of Kennedy Agyapong was susceptible to political scandals and personality attacks, a situation she noted could affect the party's chances of winning political power in the next general elections. She said:
"Bawumia is my choice. I am convinced he has the reputation and charisma required of a Presidential candidate. A lot of work has gone into his candidature. Kennedy is not my choice because his reputation is riddled with so many scandals."

Explaining further, she said she suspected Kennedy Agyapong of putting up a performance to attract votes. She accused him of acting calm and reserved to convince delegates that he had turned a new leaf. She said:
"He also likes to use harsh and unprintable words, and I don't like that. It puts me off. I believe he is acting calm and reserved because he wants to be voted for, but a man's true character cannot be hidden for long."
"It is all pretence. It is part of a performance to gain power. He will be worse than Rawlings when given the mandate to lead and rule this country."
"Bawumia is by far a better candidate. He should be voted for and made the NPP's Presidential candidate. He was not allowed to deliver his full potential while he was Vice President to Nana Addo. I believe he will do very well when allowed to lead the NPP."
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will be holding its presidential primary elections on Saturday, 31st January 2026. The five candidates in the elections are: Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.

Kwaku Attah commented:
"Will the good reputation and moral character serve as food for you. So many people have short memory."
God_win opined:
"That is a very good submission. The woman is very intelligent"
Isaackwarteng198 noted:
"Hon. Kennedy Agyapong is the leader Ghana needs. There is an Akan proverb that translates to 'rejected cassava cannot be returned to the same place to be resold.' No Ken, No Vote!"
