Dr Bryan Acheampong, a member of Parliament for Abetifi, has urged the former Assin Central member of Parliament to cool down by lowering his temperature for the party to rebuild unity ahead of the 2028 general election.
His statement comes on the heels of Ken Agyapong, who has vowed to take action against members of his own party, the NPP, starting in June or July 2027.
According to Ken Agyapong, the NPP thinks he is stupid to come and follow them again, warning that from July 2027, they will see action from him.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, the former NPP flagbearer aspirant, Ken Agyapong, stated, “It will not be long when you travel the way they respect you, then when you get here. Somebody like KOKA is saying my head has been operated on. He does not know what will happen to him. NPP people, are you ready? I am saying June, July 2027, me and you action in Ghana, you will be surprised, you think I am stupid.
You think I am stupid to come and follow you guys again. If you were to say ten sins of Ken Agyapong, you wait and see what will happen. I am not afraid of you, you wait and see. I have given you the time, June 2027, you will see action in this country”.
Also, Ken Agyapong disclosed that he will not be intimidated or silenced by criticism from within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The Abetifi MP warned against NPP members dismissing or challenging Ken Agyapong’s claims, noting that he could spill more beans as he threatened.
He called on Ken Agyapong to calm down and lend his considerable influence to the work of healing rather than division.
Dr Bryan Acheampong acknowledged the disappointment that follows a failed presidential bid, asserting that he knows Ken Agyapong’s source of pain is real, as some members during the NPP campaign period directed insults at him.
He, however, noted that there is no evidence that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia commissioned, directed or endorsed those attacks.
In a statement issued on Friday, June 19, 2026, Dr Bryan Acheampong stated, “Fellow members of the New Patriotic Party,
I speak to you today not as a bystander to our recent contest, but as one who stood in it. Like Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, I offered myself to our delegates in the January primary, and like him, did not emerge the winner. I therefore understand, perhaps better than most, the weight of disappointment that follows a hard-fought campaign and the depth of emotion invested by candidates and supporters alike,
It is precisely from that place of shared experience that I make this appeal.
Our party suffered a painful defeat in 2024. The single most important task before us between now and 2028 is to rebuild, to reunite, and to return to power. Nothing! No grievance, no provocation, no personal quarrel can be allowed to stand above that mission. Every day we spend fighting one another is a day we hand freely to our opponents.
I have followed with concern the recent remarks by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong and his threat of action against the party and against certain individuals. Ken is a son of this party. A man whose energy, resources and loyalty over decades cannot be questioned, and whose voice carries weight across our grassroots. It is for that very reason that I urge him, respectfully but firmly, to lower the temperature and to lend his considerable influence to the work of healing rather than division.
Let me be candid about the source of his hurt, because it is real. During and after the contest, a few voices around the flagbearer and even my own campaign directed disrespect and sometimes insults at Hon. Agyapong that were unworthy of our tradition. Many of us wished those individuals had been restrained and wished our elders had moved more swiftly to call them to order. That wish was legitimate.
But we must also be fair and truthful. There is no evidence that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia commissioned, directed or endorsed those attacks. The individuals responsible carry their owe long-standing grievances with Hon. Agyapong, quarrels that are personal to them and that they have pursued on their own account. It would be a grave error to allow the misconduct of a few to be charged to the account of our flagbearer, or worse, to our entire party,
And let us be honest with ourselves on all sides. In the heat of a contest, none of us speaks with perfect restraint, and harsh words passed in more than one direction – Hon. Agyapong’s own among them. I say this not to apportion blame, for I believe such words were spoken in the passion of the moment rather than from the heart. My hope is simply that all of us, those who wounded Ken, and Ken himself, might find the grace to make peace, without anyone waiting for the other to move first. That is what true reconciliation asks of us.
Because here is the truth that must anchor us: this is about Dr Bawumia and the NPP and not about the handful of individuals with their own scores to settle. Dr Bawumia is now the candidate of all of us. He carries the mandate not only of those who voted for him, but of every member who voted for Ken, for me, and for the others who contested. To rally around him is not to take a side in anyone’s personal feud; it is to defend the party that is bigger than all of us.
So, I appeal to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, to his supporters, and to mine: let us lay down the weapons of internal warfare. Action the verb UNITY. And let us close ranks behind our flagbearer so that in 2028 we restore the New Patriotic Party to the service of the people of Ghana.
Unity is not weakness. Unity is how we win”.
