One of the favourites in the presidential primary race of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, has introduced what appears to be a new campaign formula, challenging his opponents to solve a mathematical problem by finding X.
According to him, the need for his opponents to “Find X” has become imperative, claiming that it will help the party delegates to decide who is in a better position to win power for the party in 2028.
Speaking to delegates in the Western North Region, he indicated that his formula is based on the premise that it took President John Dramani Mahama 8 years to recover from a 1 million vote margin loss in the 2016 general elections.
Agyapong’s formula also questions the validity of the “Aka 9 pe” slogan, which suggests the NPP needs only 9% more votes to win the 2028 Election.
“Mahama lost with a vote of 1m but it took him 8 years. If 1 million vote deficit is 8 years so if someone lost by 1.7 million votes then it’s if 1m=8years then 1.7million is =X therefore find X,” he stated.
Kennedy Agyapong further appealed to the delegates to repose confidence in him and vote massively for his ticket during the January 2026 primary to make him the NPP flagbearer.
He stated that once he is elected as the flagbearer, he will work hard to win the general elections and bring the NPP back to power.
