Kennedy Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party‘s (NPP) flagbearer candidate, has declared that he is far and away the best candidate for the 2024 presidency.
He claims that his experience as a businessman and an employer puts him ahead of the competition.
The unconventional politician claimed that the majority of the other candidates depend on government handouts while on a campaign stop in Asawase, in the Ashanti Region.
In contrast to his rivals who rely solely on the government, he claimed to have employed over 7,000 Ghanaians.
“One day we went to Odotobri, and a young man came to me with his certificates. He had a Master’s Degree in Finance, and for eight years, he was unemployed, while my kids have completed school and have companies negotiating salaries with them. Despite my influence, I am unable to provide jobs for the youth of this country.
“But I have, at least, employed over seven thousand Ghanaians. So, if someone who relies on the government promises to provide you with something, consider their track record. All those coming with their big English and fancy dressing have their healthcare, drivers, security, police following them, and even the government pays for the house they live in. Can you compare someone who has all these things taken care of by the government to someone who pays over 7,000 workers every month to support their families? Can you compare these two?” he questioned.
Kennedy Agyapong, who debunked claims that he is not a candidate for president, highlighted his dedication to and accomplishments for the NPP, saying that a candidate for president should be someone who creates jobs for the country’s teeming youth rather than someone who dresses fancy and speaks fluent English.
Kennedy Agyapong is anticipated to face tough competition for the position of party flagbearer for the 2024 general elections from Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Trade Minister Alan Kyeremanten, Dr. Akoto Osei, and other top NPP figures.
