New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has sent a warning against what he describes as attempts to intimidate him and his supporters ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 2026.
Speaking at the Team Ken USA Annual Gala 2025 in New York, a video of which has since gone viral on social media, the Assin Central MP and businessman vowed never to bow to threats, stressing his resilience and commitment to contesting the primaries.
“You are in America, and your own police in America are threatening you to support somebody? How? We cannot use intimidation to devolve our country. We have to be bold and speak the truth. What is wrong is wrong, what is right is right,” he charged.
Kennedy Agyapong declared that no amount of pressure would force him to step aside.

“No man born of a woman will threaten Kennedy Agyapong, and I will chicken out. Be bold. We are also born of a woman. Let’s face the truth once and for all. We will resist every individual who will intimidate us,” he said to loud applause.
The flagbearer hopeful also called for fairness and unity within the NPP, warning against internal divisions that could weaken the party’s democratic foundation.
“We are calling for unity. We are asking for fairness. Justice is not in the interest of the strongest. We are Democrats. We have to tolerate each other. At the end of the day, we make the decisions ourselves. We will not allow ourselves to be cowards anymore,” he added.
Agyapong further expressed disappointment at what he described as intimidation tactics allegedly employed even within the diaspora branch of the party.
“What surprises me is that some of our own in America, because of the positions they have, they call the cops to threaten you. Wake up! We established NPP USA. Those in leadership positions, some have not even obtained visas to come here, yet they want to intimidate us. We will not allow it anymore,” he warned.
