Kennedy Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate who was just lost, is being urged by his supporters to run as an independent in the 2024 elections.
This comes after Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia defeated Mr. Agyapong in the NPP’s presidential primary.
The group’s chairperson, Kwabena Yankey, stated during a news conference on Tuesday that the main factor motivating them to support Mr. Agyapong is his substantial contributions to Ghana’s economic expansion.
He cited Mr. Agyapong’s contributions to infrastructure development and job creation as proof of his presidential qualification.
“We the supporters of Kennedy Agyapong, representing 37 percent of the NPP delegates, wish to inform the general public that Kennedy Agyapong needs to be the next president of Ghana. We are advocating for Kennedy Agyapong, and we urge him to stand as an independent candidate for a massive win in 2024.”
Although Yankey acknowledged the recent internal conflicts inside the NPP, she insisted that Agyapong’s independent candidacy presents the best chance for advancement in the country.
“Kennedy Agyapong renowned for his outspoken nature and unwavering love, has demonstrated his dedication through his actions and spearheaded the establishment of companies that employ 7,000 workers. His initiative to construct a state-of-the-art cardio hospital whose investment surpasses $7 million underscores his commitment to the well-being of Ghana.
“Despite the recent setbacks within the NPP, we continue to believe that supporting him as an independent candidate is crucial for Ghanaians to foster growth, innovation, and the social welfare of the nation.”
