Former Assin South Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, has been told to shut up on who has to represent the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 elections as flagbearer.
Kennedy Agyapong is on record as having said while meeting party members in the Ashanti Region that the flagbearership of the NPP cannot be handed to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who led the party to a woeful defeat in 2024.
He cited Adu Boahen, who contested once and, since he could not pull the numbers, had to be removed.
“In 1992, we presented Prof Adu Boahen, but after he lost, he wasn’t given another chance. When people want to mislead you, they say President Kufuor contested twice and President Akufo-Addo three times. But how many times did Adu Boahen contest?” he asked.
He continued”President Kufuor only campaigned for four months, yet his results were impressive, that’s why he was given a second chance. Akufo-Addo also performed well in his second attempt, securing 49.3%. He didn’t cross the 50% threshold but only lost in the second round.
Adding thatg “If someone loses by over two million votes, how can that person be given another chance? We will continue to speak the truth, and Ghanaians are ready to vote for Kennedy Agyapong. Let us listen to the voice of the people”.
But some members of the political party have questioned his competence in leading the New Patriotic Party especially when he could not deliver his own seat to the political party in the 2024 elections.
To many, Kennedy Agyapong is a spent force who only looks at his selfish gains rather than the collective good of the political party he is a member of.
Hon Kennedy Agyapong could not deliver his own seat in 2024 why on earth should the entire NPP be handed over to him?
