Dr Stephen Amoah, commonly known as Sticka, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso and a member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, has detailed what the former MP told him regarding leading “ The Base party”.
According to Dr Stephen Amoah, Ken Agyapong told him he is not interested in the Base Movement.
Sticka also cautioned that breaking away from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would be a wrong move.
Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Dr Stephen Amoah stated, “The BASE could bring down the NPP. I will advise everyone that we are done with the elections, so we should come together and sacrifice for the NPP. So, the Base and all those things, we should stop and work together as NPP people, because for me, there is nothing that I would not sacrifice for the NPP”.
“I have personally asked Kennedy Agyapong about ‘The Base’, and he has said he is not interested. As for me, nothing will make me leave the NPP, ” he added.
Meanwhile, Agya Koo, one of the lead promoters of The Base party, has dismissed reports linking it to businessman and defeated NPP presidential aspirant Ken Agyapong.
Agya Koo explained that Ken Agyapong’s membership in ‘The Base’ party remains unconfirmed.
He highlighted that Ken Agyapong is not even aware of most of the things being done within the BASE party.
Speaking in a radio interview, Agya Koo stated, “The BASE party is not exclusive to Kennedy Agyapong, and his membership in the party remains unconfirmed at this time.”
“Kennedy Agyapong has not even come out to speak on his allegiance, yet there are speculations. He is not even aware of most of the things being done within the BASE party we have set up.”
Also, Agya Koo has called for experts, professionals, and entrepreneurs to join the party from the 16 regions of the country to steer its affairs.
He added, “We need experts, professionals, and entrepreneurs on board, and we hope to get a leader after mobilising across all 16 regions”.
“The Base party is made up of youth from different political parties and social groups who have come together to put our leaders in check.” He revealed
“We are coming as a third force to make sure leaders do their bidding for the country since they have refused to listen to the voices of the youth.”
“We have not even come out to say if he is part of the party or not; we are still organising ourselves.”
Meanwhile, Lawyer Godlove Adjei Tenkorang has advised veteran Ghanaian Actor, Agya Koo and supporters of The Base party, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament, will never join their party.
According to the lawyer, Agya Koo, and supporters of The Base party, they must stop the jokes and consider doing something more.
He highlighted that the idea of a third political force in Ghana is unrealistic within the current political landscape of Ghana.
He further asserted that one cannot use just a few years to make the NPP and NDC irrelevant.
