An aspiring presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has asked delegates of the elephant family to make a wise choice in electing a formidable candidate at the party’s upcoming internal elections for the 2024 general elections.
The lawmaker who represents the constituents of Assin Central believes he remains the best option for the NPP to break the 8-year jinx.
Addressing party delegates in Koforidua, Kennedy Agyapong appealed to them to vote for him as the presidential candidate.
“My advice goes to all the delegates to try and make the right choice in the election of a presidential candidate for the party. You will bear the brunt if you make wrong choices that will send the party into opposition. Make no mistake during the primaries to elect just any candidate. I will use the little money I have for myself till I die and not spend on party members,” he said.
“I have really suffered for the party, I have done a lot for the party, I have spent my money on lots of NPP activities. I bought pick-ups for party members for their campaign in 2016. I boldly stood up and spoke against the brutalities that were meted out to Ursula Owusu, Abu Jinapor and others by NDC members in registration centres in the Odododiodoo in 2012. Who can say he has defended NPP through his radio station more than me?”
“After we lost the 2008 elections, everyone kept quiet, but I did some outdoor programmes on Oman FM encouraging NPP members not to give up. Today they are saying I’m not a presidential material, what is presidential material? Is presidential material someone who can speak good English and not care about the welfare of the youth?”
