Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a candidate for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer position, has declared that he will remain steadfast in the party.
The member of parliament for Assin Central vowed not to let the party use and discard him.
The Assin Central MP said during an interview on Tamale FM that the NPP has a history of using and discarding people and that he would not stand for it to happen to him.
“You see, NPP, they will always want to use you and dump you. I will not allow them to dump me anymore, I won’t do it. I will not sacrifice for NPP for my children, my family, generation to be humiliated,” he stated.
His comments were a response to his alleged role in the assassination of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale, which he has repeatedly denied.
“I am annoyed because NPP, they know the truth but they always want to sacrifice Ken Agyapong; I won’t do it again.
“I won’t do it again, you are sitting here asking me this question, they have done their investigation or even if they don’t know they should bring the outcome for Ghanaians to know. Where is the outcome? Are they saying that Ahmed Suale when he was killed, the police didn’t do any investigation? The security didn’t do any investigation? If they did let us know the outcome if it is Ken Agyapong, it’s as simple as that,” he fumed.
Guidelines for the November 4 primaries, which will take place in all 276 constituencies across the nation, including the Party Headquarters in Asylum Down, Accra, have been released by the party’s Presidential Elections Committee.
On November 4, more than 200,000 NPP delegates are anticipated to vote to choose the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election.
Relatedly, an angry supporter of Kennedy Agyapong in the Central Region’s Assin Central Constituency has threatened to beat any delegate who will vote for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the upcoming primaries on November 4, 2023.
