Kusi Boafo, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region, has debunked claims of endorsing Kennedy Agyapong’s candidacy.
According to Kusi Boafo, Kennedy Agyapong invited him to speak to delegates when he visited his constituency.
He revealed he spoke about unity and how the NPP can win back power in 2028, but never endorsed the candidacy of Kennedy Agyapong.
Kusi Boafo is quoted to have said, “Kennedy Agyapong came to my constituency, and I was invited to join the meeting. So I went to the event, and I was asked to speak to the delegates and people who were at the meeting.
I spoke extensively on unity because that is how we can get power back in 2028. I did not endorse the candidacy of Kennedy Agyapong,” he told the media in an interview”.
Meanwhile, Martin Kpebu, a Private legal practitioner, has declared that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not ready for the 2028 election.
Lawyer Kpebu asserted that the NPP has effectively ruled itself out of winning the 2028 general elections with the range of candidates they are presenting ahead of their primaries.
Speaking on The Key Point on Saturday, January 3, Martin Kpebu explained, “This whole range of candidates, it tells me one thing: the NPP is not ready for the 2028 election. They are not ready. This is the tone-deaf attitude that got them into opposition in the first place.
How can you parade Bawumia? Bawumia, who is a feather with Akufo-Addo? Such a man who helped Akufo-Addo to unleash terror on us, economic doldrums, right? Haircuts, left-right-centre. When… where is he going to get a better record to campaign? You have to bring somebody who is not tainted,” he said.
Lawyer Kpebu further detailed that Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament disqualifies him from serious presidential consideration
“When it comes to Kennedy Agyapong, you know, he lacks the temperament and everything to be president, so we’ll not waste any more time on that,” he added.
He added, “Bryan Acheampong, who wanted to take our hotels for a song. Bryan Acheampong wanted to take our hotels for a song, but for the leadership of Okudzeto, who mobilised Ghanaians. He will loot us dry. Bryan Acheampong will loot us dry,” he stated.
“He’s a good guy, but when you’re looking for a president, there must be that spark. He has not postured himself as someone who can be the father of the nation,” he said.
“Kwabena Agyapong, I have nothing to say that particularly. It’s just that his time is gone, that’s it,” he stated.
“They should bring the youngster, bring Boamah, so that he will contest 2028, lose, and then by 2032 everyone will say, ‘Yes, now he’s ripe,’” he stated.
