The Deputy Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ernest Owusu-Bempah, has stated that history would not be kind to the NPP should they fail to present Kennedy Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, as their candidate for the 2028 elections.
According to Owusu-Bempah, Kennedy Agyapong is currently the best candidate the party needs to regain power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on April 15, 2025, Owusu-Bempah emphasized that grassroots supporters and ordinary Ghanaians are calling for Kennedy Agyapong to lead the party due to his charisma and connection with the people.
“I have been working with some great leaders in this country, and I can recognize a leader when I see one. Nobody can take my views for granted. I know what I am talking about: a leader who connects with ordinary people. Go and find out from the people in Suame Magazine, Kejetia, and taxi drivers; they want somebody like him (Kennedy Agyapong),” he stated.
He further added, “Ghanaians are yearning for the truth, someone who will tell them the truth. I have listened to what Ghanaians are saying, and they are calling on him to come forward. Some of them say he is disciplined, a good candidate, and the right choice.
“History will never be kind to the NPP if they don’t listen to the people on the ground.”
