Kennedy Agyapong, a presidential candidate hopeful within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has candidly expressed his distress towards some party members especially those whom he asserts to have supported and aided in the past.
According to to him, there are several individuals in the party he has assisted but they are now rallying behind Vice President Bawumia in his bid for the presidency, rather than supporting his own presidential aspirations
For this reason, he said “ I am very very bitter. Especially those who are not ministers that I have helped. My wife tells me to try and control the rage. I am very bitter. These MPs, the help that I have given them, and some of them they come and their excuse is that if I support you… and it is true. One MP declared that he was going to support me and they threatened him that your market at Akim Oda they are not going to do it.”
“That is how bad the situation is, they have threatened a lot of MPs that if you don’t follow one person, they are going to bring another person to contest you, and all of them are afraid,” he stated.
Mr Agyapong additionally stated, “I wouldn’t have known my enemies if I had not contested.”
Also, he specifically mentioned an MP, Alfred Obeng-Boateng, who represents the Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai constituency in the Western North Region.
According to Ken, he had personally provided assistance and actively campaigned for Alfred Obeng-Boateng in the past.
But despite his past support, Obeng-Boateng is now actively campaigning against him.
“Last week one of them that I helped, I will never forgive him but after November 4th he will see what will happen. You see, if you are not even going to vote for me, you have a choice and I don’t have a problem.
“But the people in his constituency know that I went there to campaign for him, and this man picks up a phone and calls delegates, telling them not to vote for Kennedy Agyapong, but to vote for number two on the ballot. And then one of them asked him why, and he said Kennedy Agyapong doesn’t know how to talk,” he added.
He continued “I campaigned for him in Bibiani; I am not afraid of him, Alfred Obeng. I left his place at 1:00 a.m. for this man to tell me that I didn’t know how to talk. I can never forgive that guy.”
