Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has officially filed his nomination to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership, urging delegates to disregard public commentary about his candidacy.

He emphasised that their decision will determine the party’s fortunes in the 2028 general election.

Addressing party members after submitting his forms on Wednesday, August 27, Mr Agyapong appealed directly to delegates, insisting that the NPP’s path to victory lies in rallying behind him.

He cautioned them against yielding to what he described as intimidation and selfish interests within the party.

“I’m on my knees, I beg you in the name of God, do not listen to what Ghanaians are saying. Vote for Kennedy Agyapong, and victory will be assured for the NPP in 2028. Wherever you go, Ghanaians are crying for Kennedy Agyapong.

“Don’t allow anyone to intimidate you. Party victory is paramount, so let us unite and select a candidate who can deliver,” he declared.

His remarks come as the party prepares for a decisive internal contest that will shape its future direction.

The NPP is seeking a leader who can restore the party’s fortunes after its heavy defeat in the 2024 elections.
