Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central Constituency, has hinted that he will run in the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries, which will determine the party’s nominee for president in 2028.
Agyapong spoke at the “Showdown” Thanksgiving Service and Party on Saturday, November 11, 2023, to express his gratitude to his supporters and campaign team. He encouraged his followers to not be discouraged by the outcome of the November 4 primaries, which he lost to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
He encouraged his supporters and campaign members to find solace in their outstanding performance, and he concluded by promising to return stronger over the next four years.
“I want to extend my gratitude to the campaign team and all the supporters. I know we fought a good fight in every contest; there would be a winner and a loser. But this contest was between a man and the whole system. They underestimated me and my team. They predicted I would not get more than 10 percent. But today, all those who made the claim are indoors and feel ashamed.
“let’s keep hope alive, let’s keep hope alive that in the next 3, 4 years, we would give them another showdown. God bless,” he said.
Nearly 200,000 delegates cast ballots on Saturday to select four candidates, with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia emerging victorious as the NPP’s flagbearer.
In the 2024 polls, the vice president defeated Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Francis Addai-Nimoh, and Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto to secure the NPP’s presidential candidacy. The vice president received 61.47% of the total votes cast.
