Dr Bryan Acheampong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, has told Ken Agyapong, one of his opponents for the party’s flagbearer, that his dirty talk is part of the reason the NPP lost the 2024 election.
According to Bryan Acheampong, during the NPP’s Thank You Tour last year, Ken Agyapong was sacked from the bus following a disagreement during the tour.
Speaking to NPP delegates, ahead of the NPP primaries on January 31, 2026, Bryan Acheampong stated, “It is not even because we won an election that post was not given to some people, when we lost the election during the ‘Thank You Tour’ Kennedy Agyapong was remove from the bus, he was told to get around Bono Region if you remember.
Your own words were part of our defeat. Get out, so we can think about ourselves. I don’t know how he got back to Accra”.
He further recounted how Ken Agyapong, during his interview on UTV, refused to answer whether he was going to support Dr Bawumia if he wins.
According to Bryan Acheampong, he was scared of Ken’s response, adding that, “When you lose an election, it’s God, even when you lose, your campaign manager leaves you for the winner”.
Meanwhile, Dr Bryan Acheampong has said he would restore discipline in the NPP when he wins the party’s flagbearer position on January 31, 2026.
The Abetifi lawmaker highlighted that a lot of people within the NPP are just talking, insulting, and fighting on all platforms.
According to Dr Bryan Acheampong, there is no respect for authority within the NPP, and lines are being crossed back and forth.
Speaking on Asaase Radio, Dr Bryan Acheampong explained, “A lot of people in our party, just talking, insulting, fighting… on all platforms, radio, TV, social media, everywhere there’s banter. There’s no respect for authority; lines are being crossed back and forth. Nowhere in the world can you win an election with this level of indiscipline?
“Look at my campaign, you won’t find anybody in my campaign speaking against anybody or insulting anybody. No, you dare not,” he said.
He added, ”January 31st, when I win on February 1st, I will restore discipline. To start with, I will ensure that everyone downs their tools, drops their mics and raise your fingers from the screen. Let’s have a conversation on how we are going to communicate with each other and how we are going to communicate with the external publics,” he said.
“To start with, I will ensure that everybody downs their tools. Come down, drop your mic, raise your fingers from the screen and let’s have a conversation on how we’re going to communicate to each other, how we’re going to communicate with the external publics going forward.
