Akosua Manu, Special Aide to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has slammed New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong following his recent remarks.
According to Akosua Manu, Ken Agyapong publicly admitting to letting the country burn before conceding defeat is the biggest threat to Ghana’s democracy.
Ms Manu, in a Facebook post on Thursday, October 16, 2025, wrote, “Publicly admitting a willingness to let the country burn before conceding is the biggest threat to our democracy. You cannot preach PhD yet push unpatriotic behavior”.
In another Facebook post, on Friday, October 16, 2025, Akosua Manu fired Kennedy Agyapong for conceding to the NPP’s defeat years ago before the 2024 elections.
“The lives of patriots and citizens would have been needlessly lost in defence of a cause he [Kennedy Agyapong] believed was long lost. He who conceded two years ahead of time cannot hold a candle to he who concedes after the polls to protect the lives of party supporters and Ghanaians,” she wrote.
Also, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, spokesperson for former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has tackled Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a presidential candidate refusing to concede defeat when he knows he has been beaten is cowardice, and a danger to our democracy.
Miracles Aboagye wrote, “A Prez Candidate who refuses to concede defeat in the face of obvious loss at a time when there are multiple incidents of violence across the country is a coward and a danger to our democracy.
Courageous leaders act in time to save our peace,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Their comments come following Kennedy Agyapong stating that until the last constituency is counted, he would never have conceded defeat if he were the presidential candidate of the NPP in the 2024 elections.
Mr Agyapong highlighted that the NPP needs bold and courageous leaders ahead of the 2028 elections to match the NDC.
Speaking to party faithfuls as part of his regional tour in the Savannah Region on Wednesday, October 15, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “Until the last constituency is counted, if I am a presidential candidate, I will never accept defeat. I will never accept defeat until the Electoral Commission comes out to declare. I will never accept defeat,” he stated firmly, drawing cheers from his supporters.
He added that, “We need bold men… the party needs people who can match the NDC in every respect and defend the interests of our supporters.”
He further urged delegates to reject any candidate who focuses on personal attacks instead of addressing key issues such as job creation.
“The delegates must reject any candidate who does not talk about jobs but spends time attacking my personality and saying I am not presidential,” he said.
