The recent primary saw Dr Mahamudu Bawumia elected yet again to lead the NPP into the 2028 election.

Although it is unclear in which capacity he attended the NPP Thanksgiving Service, many believe he was present in his role as Director of Communication for the council.

Netizens criticise Koku for attending NPP event
Koku Anyidoho is a former Deputy General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), a position he held from 2014 to 2018.
He also served as Head of Communications under the presidency of John Atta Mills from 2009 to 2012.
However, he appeared to have fallen out with the party after his unsuccessful attempt in 2018 to unseat Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who was then the NDC's General Secretary.
Because of this, some netizens, many of whom are supporters of the NDC, took to social media to express their views on Koku's presence at the NPP event, with others criticising him.
