On April 29, 2025, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) kicked off its National Thank You Tour in the Ashanti Region, beginning at Abuakwa and later holding a second meeting at Bantama.
This gathering brought together delegates and supporters from various constituencies within the Kumasi Metropolitan Area, including Manhyia South, Bantama, and Oforikrom, among others.
The event was marked by high energy and overwhelming support, with party faithfuls turning out in large numbers to show solidarity with leading figures of the party.
However, the enthusiasm was marred by an unfortunate incident. A scuffle broke out after the event, resulting in a young supporter of Hon.
Ken Ohene Agyapong—believed to be a student from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)—being stabbed.
He was immediately rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
In a compassionate and commendable move, Hon. Ken Agyapong has assumed full responsibility for the victim’s medical expenses.
Furthermore, he has pledged to cover the remainder of the student’s academic costs, as well as those of all his siblings.
