Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has finally verified viral allegations that he intends to run for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer in the general election in 2024.
This comes after a campaign poster featuring the outspoken lawmaker was widely circulated in the media.
According to rumors, Kennedy Agyapong will run against Alan Kyeremanteng and possibly the incumbent veep, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
In a recent interview, he stated that he is the party’s only option for succeeding President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President of the Republic in 2024.
He stated that he intends to utilize his first 100 days in office as President to alter Ghanaians’ thinking, as well as the fortunes of the youth.
With him heading the party, he believes the NPP can only break the record of remaining in power for more than two terms, dubbed “Breaking the Eight,” in the 2024 elections.
He said “Yes, it is true. I have decided that when the NPP opens nominations, I will pick a form and file my nomination to contest the party primaries as the flagbearer…I will stand on the ticket of the NPP and nothing will change.”
“When you look at Ghana at the moment, the only person to continue President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s legacy is me, Kennedy Agyapong and that is the confidence I have.”
“If we make a mistake and select any other person apart from me, the NDC will win the elections and will not continue the legacy of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. If you look at the mistake, we did in 2008 by fighting ourselves and allowing the NDC to win the 2008 elections, President John Agyekum Kufuor’s uncompleted works were halted, but this time, I am appealing to the members of the NPP not to do such a mistake again,” Kennedy Agyapong added.
“We should make sure that we break the eight and I am the only person who can break the eight for the NPP…if they need a new face as the new brand for the NPP, then it is Kennedy Agyapong’s ticket…If members of the NPP will vote for me as the flagbearer, I will beat Mahama hands down. I have what it takes to beat Mahama [in any election],” he stated.
