The flagbearer candidates for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been polled ahead of the special delegates conference on August 26.
Kennedy Agyapong was declared the winner at the end of the voting in Accra today, Wednesday, July 26, 2023, with Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen coming in second.
The vice president of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, was chosen for the tenth (10th) seat.
In related news, Kennedy Agyapong has threatened not to run for the NPP since some of the party’s supporters keep disparaging him.
The Assin Central MP stated in an interview that if he is not chosen as the party’s flagbearer, he will travel to the United States of America.
“I’m telling you if they continue the way they are going, big no. If they go the way they are going, when I lose, I will go back to America. You say you can win, win without Ken Agyapong.
“Let Adomako Baafi and all those guys go and do the campaign. You think I’m a fool to spend my money for these young guys to insult me? If they stop, fine. If they don’t, then count me out,” Ken Agyapong emphasized during an interview with Home Radio.
Agyapong maintains that he is prepared to lead the NPP into the 2024 General Election but also makes it clear that he won’t see it as a major setback if he doesn’t win the flagbearer election.
He firmly believes that if delegates vote for him, he possesses pragmatic solutions to address the numerous challenges faced by Ghanaians.
