Kennedy Agyapong, the former MP for Assin Central, has strongly urged his fellow members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to nominate him as their presidential candidate in the 2028 election.
Without mentioning names, the former lawmaker denied claims that a particular candidate should be given another chance in a widely shared video footage from a party event.
“Even Prof Adu Boahene, who broke the culture of silence by facing off with Rawlings, we didn’t make him our candidate for a second time after he lost the 1992 elections. Those who don’t want to speak the truth will tell you that President Kufuor went two times, Akufo-Addo three times. How many times was Adu Boahene made a candidate?
“Today, everybody is enlightened, don’t let them throw dust into your eyes,” In the Twi dialect, he said.
Kennedy Agyapong went on to say that due to their performances and the limited time they had to campaign, former presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo were granted the opportunity to serve as NPP representatives once more.
“The reason we made President Kufuor our candidate for a second time was that he used only three to four months to campaign during the first time. Because of the votes he garnered within the four months, we decided that he should be our candidate again. This is the reason why he won when we made him our candidate again.
“When Akufo-Addo went for the first time, he got 49.3%. The election went into a second round, but he could not win because of Tain,” Ken Agyapong added.
