Kennedy Agyapong is a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central
Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has made a strong appeal to members of his party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to make him their presidential candidate for the 2028 Election.
Speaking in a viral video clip from a party event, the former legislator refuted assertions that a certain candidate should be given a second chance, without naming names.
“Even Prof Adu Boahene, who broke the culture of silence by facing off with Rawlings, we didn’t make him our candidate for a second time after he lost the 1992 elections. Those who don’t want to speak the truth will tell you that President Kufuor went two times, Akufo-Addo three times. How many times was Adu Boahene made a candidate?
“Today, everybody is enlightened, don’t let them throw dust into your eyes,” he said in the Twi dialect.
Kennedy Agyapong added that the former presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo were given the chance to represent the NPP again because of their performances and the short amount of time they had to campaign.
“The reason we made President Kufuor our candidate for a second time was that he used only three to four months to campaign during the first time. Because of the votes he garnered within the four months, we decided that he should be our candidate again. This is the reason why he won when we made him our candidate again.
“When Akufo-Addo went for the first time, he got 49.3%. The election went into a second round, but he could not win because of Tain,” he said.
