Kennedy Agyapong, an aspirant in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary, has voiced concerns. He claims that certain elements might manipulate the upcoming November 4 election in favor of one candidate
Representing Assin Central for the NPP, Agyapong promises to confront any party official who attempts deceitful tactics. These tactics, he fears, might influence the election’s outcome, determining the party’s 2024 leadership.
Alan Kyerematen, a former flagbearer and trade minister, recently shocked many by resigning from the NPP. On September 25, he announced plans to contest the 2024 elections as an independent. Kyerematen’s reasons? He felt dissatisfied with the preliminary voting process and highlighted intimidation faced by his supporters.
“Not all of us can stay as silent as Alan. If anyone tries any underhand tactics, they’ll have to answer to me. Our nation’s youth deserves transparency and honesty, and I’m ready to fight for that,” Agyapong declared in Kumasi during the ShowDown walk. He further criticized what he saw as disruptive behavior at the National Council and encouraged everyone to take him seriously.
Agyapong now enters a race against three formidable candidates for the NPP leadership role: Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh.
NPP has circled November 4, 2023, on their calendar. On this day, they will choose the successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. With the date drawing closer, all eyes remain on this crucial leadership vote.
