Ing. Kwabena Agyepong’s presidential campaign spokesperson, Paul Abdul Rahman Issah Dowuona, has characterized his candidacy as the most qualified candidate in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) next presidential primary.
His remarks come after On Wednesday, August 7, Ing. Agyepong formally picked up nomination paperwork, indicating his desire to run for the party’s flagbearership.
On Thursday, August 7, Issah Dowuona stated in an exclusive interview with Channel One Newsroom that Ing. Agyepong is unique due to his “unmatched integrity, vision, and deep understanding of Ghana’s democratic principles.”
He claims that Ing. Kwabena Agyepong, former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong are the three main contenders in the flagbearer competition.
“The contest is between Kwabena Agyepong, Former Vice President Dr. Mahama Mahamudu Bawumia and Former MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong,” he said. “For Kennedy Agyepong, I think he should first of all tell Ghanaians when he decided he wanted to be president. Because there are a lot of interviews in which he said that he doesn’t want to be president. What changed? He should also explain when the NPP stopped becoming stupid people.”
Issah Dowuona acknowledged Dr. Bawumia’s service to the party but contended that it was time for him to go from his position.
“The Former Vice President has served the party for 16 years. He has done his best for the party. We think that he should go and rest. Ghanaians are still assessing his stewardship, and that was evident in the previous election.
He should go and take time, when Ing. Agyapong wins and we take power, after eight years, Ghanaians would have finished assessing him.” He stated.
