A potential flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, claims to be a millionaire with sufficient resources to support himself until his passing.
The unconventional Assin Central MP claimed he is extremely wealthy and will never be in need.
He spoke these words to party members and delegates in the Western Region.
He urged the delegates not to be afraid of anyone in the NPP who is attempting to influence them to support a specific candidate.
He claims that regional executives are being beaten up. He claims that I have donated 26 pickup trucks to this region and that out of the 10 contestants, only one has given even one car tire. Come on, you need to get up. Why do you feel fear?
He questioned, “Why are you afraid, those forcing you into a particular line, when only I, Kennedy Agyapong, can claim to care about the Western Region?”

“Today the land is ploughed, prepared, crop planted, it’s ripe and ready so everyone is enjoying. You play the fool and let’s land in opposition, you will see what will happen.
“At this stage in my life, I will never be poor till I die. I have home sense, I will never go hungry. I won’t let anyone scare you in this region, we are not afraid of anyone,” he stated.
11 NPP members have chosen their nominations for the party’s delegates congress, which is scheduled for August 2023.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Agriculture Minister Alan Kyerematen, former Trade and Industry Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, former Mampong MP Francis Addai-Nimoh, former Railways and Development Minister Joe Ghartey, and former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko are among the NPP stalwarts running for flagbearer.
Others include Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, a two-time candidate for president, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former general secretary of the NPP, and Kennedy Agyepong, an MP from Assin Central.
