Former New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea, has defended ‘don’t elect a leader that will embarrass Ghana at the UN’, which some have said was an attack on Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful of the party.
Speaking in an interview with Adom FM, shared on Facebook, on November 27, 2025, Atta Akyea did not withdraw his statement despite backlash from it.
He asserted that the supporters of Ken Agyapong, who are attacking him over his remarks, know that his comments are not far from the truth.
“The person you want to become the flagbearer is not someone you can advise. Whatever Ken, who was my classmate in Adisadel, says he will do, he will do it; you can’t stop it. He would even do it in public for people to record it.
“So, nobody has invented any story about him. His actions that have been recorded, the things he says, the pastors who have been insulted, the leaders who were insulted, all these things are not the invention of Atta Akyea. They are things he has said,” he said.
Atta Akyea, a former Minister of Works and Housing, took a swipe at Ken, saying that he cannot hide his true nature forever.

“If you have diarrhoea and you take medication, it does not mean it (the diarrhoea) has stopped… You cannot fake the condition you are in. So, if you are having a running tummy, and you go and take medication, the diarrhoea will not stop. That is what we are seeing now.
“Some of the things Ken said are coming out, and people are running. People have quit on some of the issues about Ken; more could even come out,” he said.
