Dr Gideon Boako, the member of parliament for Tano North, has questioned the former Assin Central MP’s ability to lead the NPP to victory in the 2028 election if he becomes the flagbearer.
The MP for Tano North cited that Ken Agyapong could not use his 16 years of dominance over Assin Central to help the NPP secure the seat in the 2024 elections.
He further quizzed how Ken could win the presidency if he could not help the NPP secure his old seat in the 2024 general election.
Speaking on GHOne TV, Dr Gideon Boako stated, “Kennedy Agyapong, in his constituency, it was an NPP constituency that he had held for so many times; he went into the 2024 election with his influence, capacity and dominance over that constituency, which could not sustain as to win the parliamentary seat.
If a candidate could not use his 16 years of dominance and influence in the constituency to protect it for us. What shows that when we present him to Ghanaians, he will get even what Bawumia got”.
Also, Martin Kpebu, a Private legal practitioner, has said Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament disqualifies him from serious presidential consideration.
Lawyer Kpebu noted that Ken Agyapong lacks the temperament and everything to be president.
Speaking on The Key Point on Saturday, January 3, Martin Kpebu explained, “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.
Lawyer Kpebu further 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.
He declared that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not ready for the 2028 election.
Meanwhile, one hundred and eighteen (118) New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 Parliamentary candidates have endorsed the former vice president and presidential candidate hopeful, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The NPP 2024 Parliamentary candidates held a press conference to declare their unwavering support for Dr Bawumia as the best candidate to lead the party in the 2028 elections.
They also called on delegates to vote for him in the party’s upcoming primaries on January 31.
According to the 118 Parliamentary candidates, Dr Bawumia is the most prepared and winnable candidate to lead the NPP in the 2028 election.
Andrew Egyapa Mercer, a former Member of Parliament for Sekondi, speaking on behalf of the group, stated, “We have followed the campaigns of all these fine gentlemen of our party, some of whom have chalked up immense successes in business, governance and the policy space.
“However, when all the key parameters required for leading our great party into the 2028 election are taken together, we are convinced that none of them match up to the pedigree, experience, competence, vision, bold ideas, humility and compassion that Dr Bawumia embodies today,” he said.
Egyapa Mercer described Dr Bawumia as the party’s most prepared, formidable and winnable candidate.
He added, “Whether we have sought our constituencies’ opinion in the yet-to-be-organised parliamentary primaries or not is immaterial. Our personal ambitions have no bearing whatsoever on our collective resolve to support Dr Bawumia”.
