Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) member of parliament for Assin Central, has vowed not to give up on his goal of becoming the party’s leader in the general elections of 2024.
He declared that it is untrue to claim that he will eventually drop out of the race.
On September 15, he was asked about the assertion that candidates like himself will probably withdraw from the race at the conclusion of it in an interview conducted on the sidelines of a social function he had attended.
“If NPP opens nominations, I will pick forms… those who pick forms and quit, does he look like me? At 62 years, how can I declare my flagbearership ambitions in the NPP and quit, I am not quitting,” he stated.
But he urged clean campaigns, expressing his distaste for what he called “dirty politics.”
“We are all going to run, just that what I don’t want is dirty politics. I am not going to do dirty politics. I will go to the people and tell them what I have done for the NPP and Ghanaians and for which reason they should vote for me,” he emphasized.
Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong was the first to publicly declare his intention to lead the NPP in May of this year.
“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,” Kennedy Agyapong said in a Facebook live interview with The Announcer Newspaper on Wednesday, May 26.
He asserted that Kennedy Agyapong must break the eight for the ruling party to achieve its stated goal of doing so in 2024.
