The campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has described his position on the ballot as a divine sign, following the completion of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary balloting exercise held on Friday, October 10, 2025.
A spokesperson for the Ken Agyapong campaign said the team believes the Assin Central MP’s candidature carries a spiritual dimension that goes beyond politics.
“Before I went in, I indicated that we are not so much fixated on numbers.
“We are of a strong and firm conviction that Ken’s election and Ken’s candidature is more divine than we can imagine.
“It is about time that God is using Ken to restore a certain order,” he stated on The Pulse on JoyNews shortly after the event
Drawing a biblical analogy, the campaign likened the current political moment to the story of the Israelites seeking divine direction.
“If you recall the days of the Israelites, when the Israelites were determined to move in a certain direction, and they intimated to God that they wanted a human king, and God gave them Saul.
“But at some points, the Israelites felt the conditions and everything about Israel went down. The Israelites went back to God and God gave them David,” the spokesperson recounted.
“So we are taking an inspiration from that story that Saul has been rejected, a new David is coming in. So everything that happens through this process is in the hands of the Lord, who is introducing David, and that David is honourable Kennedy Agyapong,” they added.
Commenting on the outcome of the balloting, which placed Ken Agyapong first on the ballot paper, the team described it as both symbolic and strategic.
“The numbers are good in terms of one being visible if you look at how easy you can identify it on the ballot. It gives us another advantage in terms of when people are not sure and undecided, they go and vote for one.
“In terms of marketing for the number, it also gives us another advantage,” the spokesperson explained.
