Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a private legal practitioner, has said Ken Agyapong, the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, is the kind of politician that young voters will gravitate to.
He highlighted that Ken Agyapong shows a disdain for the political class in a way that seems authentic.
According to Barker-Vormawor, Ken Agyapong’s Trump-like” quality can be refreshing for disillusioned voters.
In a post on X, Oliver Barker-Vormawor wrote, “For all his faults, Kennedy Agyepong is the kind of politician whom I think young voters who don’t believe politicians will gravitate to.
He shows a disdain for the political class in a way that seems authentic. And makes you forget easily that he himself is part of that class. He is a politician who has disdain for other politicians, and that “Trump-like” quality can be refreshing for disillusioned voters.
He has an ability to distance himself from the NPP in a way that the Party’s grassroots like and which unaffiliated voters can resonate with. Unlike Bawumia, no one associates Ken with the NPP’s loss.
I think he would have been the candidate to beat in 2028 if he had won.
My 2 cents! Shalom”.
Some X user reacting to Oliver Barker-Vormawor’s post stated, “Unlike Kennedy, who had been in the administration and an MP of the party for over two decades, gaslighting on issues against the party, Donald Trump was not in any administration or an elected representative for any party prior to his first election as president”.
“2 cents indeed. You should know when one is genuine and when he is hypocritical. Would Ken have said that if he won the NPP primaries?
No level-headed voter falls for such hypocrisy”, one X user added.
A netizen added, “He is aware of the low iq of most Ghanaians and he has capitalized on he spoke against e levy and betting tax publicly but when it was time for the decision making he connived with the npp to impersonate his baby mama and he himself voted in favor of the same policy he publicly spoke against, he was attacking every journalist who criticized his adjenim boateng when the PPA issue came about, he fought anas when the number 12 issue came about all because his friend Nyantakyi and wife issues were in the expose we all know wht he did to @KevinEkowTaylor too he is only saying this cos he wasn’t made the flagbearer though”.
His comments follow, Ken Agyapong who openly criticised successive administrations, including the NPP government under which he served as Chairman of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, for the prolonged delay in making the Afari Military Hospital in the Ashanti Region fully operational.
Speaking to the media after donating a pickup truck and 15 motorcycles to the Ghana Police Service at the Accra Regional Police Headquarters, Ken Agyapong stated, “Has Afari Hospital been there for 15 months? NDC started it. We were there for 8 years; we didn’t do it. We are not doing politics, I am speaking the truth this Ghana.
We will criticise NDC and also do the same for the NPP; that is the only way to grow.
This hospital was started by President John Agyekum Kufuor. The locations and all those things. NDC came to start it, and when we came, I was NPP, and I am telling you the gospel truth. I was the chairman for Defence and Interior, and we didn’t do anything.
When we decided to go and inspect Afari, they stopped us. I heard somebody saying the Afari Hospital has been there for 15 months, but we were there for eight years and didn’t do it”, he added.
