Former Municipal Chief Executive for Adentan, Ebenezer Doku, has refuted reports suggesting that firebrand New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, received an endorsement from the group of 220 former Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) who served under the NPP between 2017 and 2024.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One News after a closed-door meeting with former Vice President and now presidential aspirant Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on Monday, June 23, Doku clarified that Kennedy Agyapong was the one who invited the group to a previous engagement — not the other way around.
“We have regional representations, and so the numbers put together in all the other regions gave us the 220. Ken called us, but we did not go to him. He called us to meet and he gave us his message,” Doku explained.
He added that while the meeting was cordial and well-attended, it did not result in any form of endorsement.
“Other speakers spoke at the said meeting. He was nice to us, and we all met. We wined, we dined. After that, we left. There was no message as we did today,” he said, referring to the structured interaction they had with Dr. Bawumia.
Doku further emphasized that the group’s silence during the meeting with Agyapong was telling of where their loyalty lies.
“We did not tell him we would give him our support. Once we did not respond tells that we have a candidate we are looking at,” he stated.
