Kennedy Agyapong, a candidate for the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer position, has come out regarding the passing of his mother. According to him, she did so as a result of the threats that his fellow politician’s brother made against him.
Agyapong, the incumbent representative for Assin Central, claimed that his mother was unable to handle the taunts and threats he had been subjected to ever since he entered politics.
He claimed that despite her repeated requests for him to put politics aside, he had refused.
“My mother died because of threats on me,” Agyapong said.
“When Hon. Collins Dauda’s brother threatened to kill me, my mother couldn’t take it. She died on the 13th of November. During the week she died, I visited her, and she was pleading with me to stop politics, and she said: Kwame you’ll kill me. That was Thursday, on Friday, I left for Kumasi and while returning to Accra on Sunday afternoon, I got the bad news that my mother had died. And I was told she was saying my heart, my heart and Kwame you will kill me.”
The loss of his mother, according to Agyapong, is still causing him pain, but he is determined to keep fighting for what he believes in.
He declared that despite the threats made against him, he won’t be deterred from speaking out against social injustices and promoting the welfare of regular people.
