Former Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong has explained that if his party had listened to him, the party wouldn’t have lost the 2024 elections.
“They’ve never been fair. I leave it to God. All the things I said were a caution to them; if they had listened to me, there wouldn’t have been this humiliating defeat ever but they didn’t listen because the whole party machinery was against Kennedy Agyapong,” he stated in an interview with Pan African Television.
On claims that his comments were used by the NDC to annex power from the NPP in 2024, he indicated that the argument is flawed.
Rather, he urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to go back and watch the adverts of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and they will realize that the NDC used the words of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia against the NPP in the 2024 elections.
“You saw the former Chief Justice picketing. So during my campaign, I told them that anybody in that administration lost in 2022 because Ghanaians had decided they would get rid of us and they used that against me that I caused their defeat. Some candidates go round and say because of him we lost the election,” he stated.
Adding, “Did I say that when the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you? The lady quoted it at the Agric Bank, did I say that I am going to lock the dollar, it is under lock and key and I’ve given the key to the police, whatever? You think I am the only smartest person in the country that did not listen or hear? When they are losing their business and take a decision, now you use it against me that I caused the defeat? Today is an opportunity for me to explain this. Look at NDC advert, the number of adverts, what Bawumia said that they used against him and compare to the number of adverts they said I have said that. They have never been fair but I leave it to God”.
