Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong
Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and aspiring presidential candidate, Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has revealed that he was ostracized by the party and sidelined for a decade, despite having committed no wrongdoing.
Speaking on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM’s Frontline, he said he felt isolated during that period, especially after dedicating his youth, resources and energy to the party’s success.
He emphasised that despite being sidelined for years, he remained loyal and committed to the NPP.
Agyepong, who is seeking the party’s presidential nomination, stated that his distinguished service and deep understanding of the party’s grassroots make him the ideal candidate to lead the NPP to victory in 2028.
“As party members, you know my struggles, sacrifices, and selflessness for the NPP. I understand your struggles too. For ten years, I was ostracized. From 2015 to 2025, it has been ten years. I was ostracized and banished to the side,” he explained.
“I did not explain myself because God took good care of me. He took good care of me because I cried out to Him and prayed for Him to come through for me, especially when I had done no wrong.
“I told God to come through for me because I had dedicated my youth to the party. I had been with the party in the dark days when people were in fear and could not speak for the party.”
He also used the platform to urge the NPP to win back the confidence of Ghanaians, particularly aggrieved party members.
Additionally, he called on the party to respect the electorate, avoid taking them for granted, and engage them with messages that resonate, thereby securing victory in the 2028 general elections.
Agyepong appealed to delegates to vote massively for him, stressing that he is a unifier, not a divisive or vile candidate.
“As delegates, with the people to decide who is elected, I am appealing to them to vote for me because I am a unifier. I am not a candidate who is divisive and vile. They know those who are like that.
“Vote for me because I have demonstrated loyalty and served the party well. I was a General Secretary who did his best in securing 169 parliamentary seats for the NPP in the 2016 elections.”
