Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a flagbearer candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has advised the party’s elections committee to ensure that the November 4 Presidential primary is fair and transparent.
In a speech at his Kumasi Showdown walk on Saturday, September 30, 2023, the outspoken politician stated that if he believes the elections have been rigged in favor of another candidate, he will not hesitate to challenge the party.
“I’m not like Alan who is gentle, let them try…” Ken issued the warning amid wild applause from his followers.
Mr. Agyapong was alluding to Alan Kyerematen, a former Trade and Industry Minister who recently resigned from the NPP, citing intimidation and unfair treatment of himself and his supporters during the NPP’s flagbearership election.
Mr. Kyerematen has now founded the Movement For Change in order to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming 2024 Presidential elections.
Mr. Agyapong stated that he would follow a “an eye for an eye” approach during the election and that he would not allow anyone to abuse him.
He further stated that he had been offered large sums of money to resign in order to make way for Vice President Bawumia.
He stated that he has turned down all such offers, including one to be Dr. Bawumia’s running mate.
Ken Agyapong has stated that he will win the election on November 4th.
