Kumawood actor Joseph Osei, popularly known as Wayoosi, has revealed his reasons for leaving the New Patriotic Party (NPP), citing his disappointment with the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO).
Wayoosi had actively supported NAPO’s campaign for the Manhyia South constituency MP seat, even going the extra mile to secure votes by personally calling delegates.
Despite his efforts, Wayoosi felt unappreciated and ignored by NAPO after the election.
In a recent interview, the actor expressed his disillusionment with NAPO’s lack of acknowledgement, which led to his disinterest in the NPP.
Wayoosi’s departure from the party stems from feeling disregarded and unvalued by NAPO’s actions.
“I got to know NPP through NAPO, and he needed my assistance for his MP campaign. He handed me a list of delegates who might oppose him, and I reached out to each one to persuade them to vote for us. Since he was elected MP, our conversations haven’t lasted more than 30 seconds.
“Nearly every time I called, he was occupied with a meeting. It dawned on me that he no longer needed my help after achieving his goal. This realization caused me to lose interest in the party,” Wayoosi stated in Twi.
Wayoosi has been actively supporting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama.
His comments followed speculations that NAPO might be chosen by Dr Bawumia as the NPP’s running mate for the pending 2024 elections.
