Kennedy Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has made a shocking revelation ahead of the party’s 2026 presidential primaries.
According to Kenned Agyapong, at least ten individuals were promised the running mate position ahead of the 2024 elections.
He revealed that when it was time for a running mate to be selected, all ten individuals were snubbed.
Ken Agyapong further stressed that, as for him, he is promising jobs for the people.
Speaking to NPP delegates, Ken Agyapong stated, “We vote to gain profit, we don’t vote for a loss, we don’t vote and go into suffering. Quite recently, you heard what someone said, that ‘Kennedy Agyapong is strict, so when he becomes president, I will not get any appointment’.
That is the same way it does among you; the most surprising thing is that one post can be promised to ten people. The vice president position was promised ot ten people. When it got to the point of selecting a vice president, they were snubbed.
I am pleading with you, as for me, I am saying I will bring jobs”, he added.
In the video shared on Kennedy Agyapong’s social media page, he wrote, “At least ten individuals were promised the running mate position, and today we are witnessing the consequences of politics driven by personal ambition rather than national interest.
The fundamental question remains: with the vast land and natural resources at our disposal, why are we still unable to create sustainable jobs for our people?
Leadership must shift from the pursuit of positions to the delivery of opportunities”.
His comments follow, the former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has boldly stated political future hinges on the former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becoming president and not Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Adwoa Safo, she does not hate Kennedy Agyapong as she has two children with him, but everyone has their own mind when it comes to politics, adding that her political career and future are at stake when Mr Agyapong emerge as the party’s leader and eventually becomes President.
She noted that the Kennedy Agyapong, she knows, would never appoint her, and that is why her political career and future would be at stake if he becomes president.
She highlighted that the NPP in government were practing family and friends, which caused the party’s defeat, adding that lessons must be learnt from the defeat.
Speaking to NPP delegates, Adwoa Safo stated, “I am a Politician, and Kennedy Agyapong is a politician; there are a lot of delegates here whose husbands are polling station executives, and the wife is also a polling station executive, don’t we all have our minds in politics.
Kennedy Agyapong has his own mind and ambition, and I am also doing my politics. I do not hate Kennedy Agyapong; I have two children with him, but we are not doing family and friends in the NPP.
The opposition that we are in, we must learn lessons from it; we sat in government doing family and friends, and we are here today, so the external politics, I am not going to do family and friends”, she added.
Adwoa Safo added, “When I stood to contest in the year 2007 till now, I have served as a member of parliament for twelve years, I have been deputy majority leader, minister for procurement, minister for Gender, have I not served you?
Looking at the work I have done and how I have served this nation and my party, for someone I have two children with to consider appointing me as a minister would seem impossible; hell will break loose in this country. And the Kennedy Agyapong I know, with whom I have two children, would never do it. Therefore, my political career and future are at stake. My future lies with Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia”.
“The Kennedy Agyapong I know would never appoint me, and that is why my political career and my future would be at stake if he becomes president,” she stated.
