Kennedy Agyapong urges NPP to prioritize public opinion in flagbearer selection:
"NPP Must Prioritize Ghanaian Sentiment in 2028 Election Strategy"- Kennedy Agyapong
New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has appealed to party members and delegates to consider the views of ordinary Ghanaians as the party prepares for its presidential primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections.
During a campaign tour of the Savannah Region, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament emphasized the importance of aligning with the sentiments of the broader Ghanaian electorate to secure victory.
Agyapong advised party members to “listen to Ghanaians” when selecting a candidate, noting that winning elections requires support beyond the NPP’s base. “It’s not only us who are going to vote. It’s not only the NPP people. If it’s only NPP people who will be voting, like the last election, we would have won,” he said. He said this is what is required to win the election.
Agyapong stated that he believes he enjoys broad support from ordinary citizens across the country.
He described himself as the “luckiest man” in Ghanaian politics, attributing his popularity to his honesty and consistency.
“In the history of NPP or Ghana politics, the only luckiest man that has availed himself to contest that every Ghanaian is calling unto him is Kennedy Agyapong,” he said.
Agyapong stressed that the NPP’s priority should be winning power in 2028, which he believes requires presenting a candidate who is trusted by the public.
“We want power. If it’s power we are looking for, then we should listen to what the people of Ghana are saying, not what we the NPPs are saying,” he said.
