Dr. Bryan Acheampong's campaign representatives rejected former COCOBOD Chief Executive Joseph Boahen Aidoo's remarks regarding Ghana's cocoa syndication policy. The team labeled Aidoo's statements as contradictory and deceptive while emphasizing their commitment to factual democratic discourse. Campaign officials defended their candidate's agricultural reforms and stressed his dedication to party unity rather than personal confrontations. They highlighted Acheampong's role in presenting the Cabinet memorandum that recommended terminating Ghana's three-decade dependence on offshore syndicated cocoa loans. The policy change marked the end of a 32-year financial arrangement.
Campaign representatives noted the substantial producer price increases during Acheampong's ministerial tenure. Cocoa prices rose dramatically from GH¢800 in 2022 to GH¢3,100 in 2024, representing a 278 percent improvement that benefited farmers directly. The team questioned Aidoo's reliability by pointing out logical inconsistencies in his claims about spearheading the reform while simultaneously expressing ignorance about its implementation. They characterized his position as an inappropriate effort to diminish what should represent a collective NPP accomplishment. The campaign remains focused on its presidential objectives.
