According to the statement release on January 29, 2026, the alleged acts of intimidation are aimed at discouraging Kusaug NPP members from freely participating in the primaries and expressing support for their preferred candidate. Kusaug NPP members defended their support for Dr Bawumia, describing it "as a legitimate, lawful and strategic political choice made in good faith." The statement firmly rejected any attempt to coerce or intimidate Kusaug members into supporting alternative candidates. According to the group, such actions are presumptuous and disrespectful, stressing that Kusaug NPP members are capable of independently assessing political options and determining what best serves their collective interests within the party. The group called on the Kusaug Traditional Council, elders and opinion leaders to urgently caution individuals engaging in threats or intimidation.
