Abena Osei-Asare, the former Deputy Finance Minister, has explained why she is supporting the former Assin Central MP Ken Agyapong as the next flagbearer of the NPP.
According to Abena Osei-Asare, Kennedy Agyapong is the best candidate to lead the NPP in the next general elections.
She stated that Kennedy Agyapong is a well-known businessman who can create numerous job opportunities for the youth, owing to the industrial expertise he has gained from managing several companies.
Abena Osei Asare, who also serves as Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, the NPP needs somebody who can bring back discipline into the party.
Speaking in an interview on Good Evening Ghana on January 13, 2026, Abena Osei-Asare explained, “Currently, the sentiments around the country are that they want someone who is very pragmatic, one who says it as it is, someone who can bring discipline to our party. Because personally, I feel that the discipline level in our party has gone down.
“In every party, there are structures; there are systems. Many times of late, you see that the systems, the structures, are not working as they’re supposed to work… Everybody stands for something, and for him, he stands for being honest about the way he feels about everything… his old demeanour also instils discipline. He stands for discipline,” she said.
She added, “Clearly, when you look at the pattern of voting in this country now, the youth form a chunk of it and they, for one reason or the other, don’t stick to one party per se. They look at the sentiment. They look at what is going on currently. What do they want? They want jobs.
“This is a person going around talking about jobs, opening our eyes to the various opportunities that one can have,” she said.
Meanwhile, Apostle Ray has warned NPP delegates planning to vote for Ken Agyapong as the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 elections.
The man of God cautioned the NPP delegates that anyone who votes for Ken Agyapong and he wins will regret it.
According to Apostle Ray, he is against Ken Agyepong because he’s against the church of God.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Afternoon Ghana, Apostle General Ray, stated, ”I am against somebody winning. I’m against Ken Agyepong winning because he’s against the church of God. His standard of measure is wrong; you can tell me that someone speaking in tongues is a fool.
I speak in tongues so immediately, you have classified me as somebody. When we say somebody is against the church, you listen to what the person says, you saw what he did in some people’s minds, you are happy he is fighting false prophets but the thing is that the false prophets that you are fighting your standard cut across to genuine prophets.
Because one of his standards for a false prophet is somebody who prophecies. He literally said that people going to church is a problem on weekdays”.
When asked if he is praying against him to win, Apostle General Ray stated, “I am praying, and I am believing God will not… I am an Apostle, I am not a prophet”.
“Those who are going to vote for Ken Agyapong are going to regret it if they vote for him to win”.
