Kwabena Agyepong, a NPP flagbearer candidate, has challenged his fellow presidential hopefuls to engage in a nationally televised debate.

According to Kwabena Agyepong, Ghanaians deserve the debate to be able to make an informed decision based on policies, priorities, character, and track record.

Kwabena Agyepong emphasised that leadership should go beyond popularity contests.

He noted that Ghana needs a leader who will have transformative ideas and has shown commitment to deliver results.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on the AM Show, Kwabena Agyepong stated, “And that’s why I have even challenged my other four colleagues that we should have a nationally public-sized debate.

Ghanaians and our party people deserve to make an informed choice. That informed choice will be based on our policy differences, our priorities, our character, and our record. That should be scrutinised.”

“We need somebody who’s got transformative ideas, somebody who has shown that he’s prepared to work for results,” he added.

However, Irene Naa Torshie, the former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), has told NPP delegates that the former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, will appeal more to Gen Z girls.

Naa Torshie quizzed the NPP delegates, if Kennedy Agyapong, a tall, nice man with a flat tummy, is placed side by side with Asiedu Nketia in an election, who would appeal more to Gen Z girls and more?

Speaking in a video shared on social media during his campaign events in the Central Region, Naa Torshie stated, “People are saying that if you bring Ken, we would vote for you. So, what do we have to do? For the Central Region, if you vote for someone else, people will laugh at you.

“I’m from the Greater Accra Region, and my people and I have decided that we are going to vote for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong… what about you?” she asked.

“Maybe there is something you might not like about him. But when Kennedy, the man that he is, stands — a tall, nice man with a flat tummy and American English — and you look at Asiedu Nketiah with his shoulder pad, who would Gen Z girls vote for during an election?” she quizzed.

Meanwhile, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has made a bold declaration even before the party elects its presidential candidate for the 2028 elections.

According to Justin Kodua, the NPP come December 2028 will surely return to power.

He highlighted that the NPP will work out all their differences before the 2028 elections.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, boldly delcared, “We have more than two years to preach to Ghanaians, our record, to preach to Ghanaians what the NPP stand for, and I can assure you, issues of apathy, issues of reconciliation, all will be addressed, and InshaAllah, come December 7, 2028, the NPP will surely come back to power”.
