NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Offinso North, Collins Augustine Ntim has denied claims that some NPP Members of Parliament are being coerced to declare their support for Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia who is contesting to be the flagbearer of the party.

Former General Secretary of the NPP, Kwabena Adjei Agyepong urged the party to allow the Vice President to do his own campaign "instead of forcing people to declare their support for him; which is not good. It's against the tenets of our party"



But the Offinso North MP says no one is being forced.

"No one is being forced to follow Bawumia. Based on our analysis we've realized that Bawumia is the best ticket to bring us victory...so no one is forcing us; it has never happened and it'll never happen. There's something in him (Bawumia) which is attracting us," he said during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'
