Defeated presidential aspirant Kennedy Agyapong has admitted that the presidential election organised by the New Patriotic Party has been free, fair, and transparent.
According to him, the grassroots has spoken, and he has accepted the declared results in good faith.
In his acceptance speech, he congratulated the election committee and called for unity towards victory in 2024.
He also pledged his support to work and campaign for the party if they win the 2024 general elections.
He further declared that the showdown he promised the NPP would be translated into the general elections.
He stressed the need for the party to remain united so they would be able to defeat the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
