President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has shortlisted former New Patriotic Party (NPP) general secretary, Kwabena Agyapong, for a top appointment, YEN.com.gh understands.
The editor of the Daily Dispatch, Ben Ephson, revealed this in an interview with Accra-based Kasapa FM.
Ephson's statement suggests that Akufo-Addo is prepared to welcome Agyapong back to the NPP and even accommodate him in his administration despite the differences the two had ahead of the December 2016 elections.
Agyapong was suspended in 2015 alongside former NPP national chairman, Paul Afoko, and former Ist vice-chairman, Sammy Crabbe, for allegedly infringing on the laws of the party.
The three were suspended following an outcry by some NPP members that they were planning to sabotage the presidential bid of Akufo-Addo.
They were accused of secretly working to undermine Akufo-Addo in the 2016 election in order to clear the way for their alleged preferred candidate, Alan Kyerematen, to represent the NPP in 2020.
Agyapong, Afoko and Crabbe strenuously denied the accusations at the time.
With the election over and the NPP comfortably in power, Akufo-Addo is said to favour burying the hatchet and welcoming them back to the party.
Ephson said in the interview that the ban on the three will be lifted soon. He said Agyapong plans to contest the general secretary position again once the ban is lifted.
He added that Agyapong would be up against John Boadu, who has acted as general secretary for two years, and Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John, who lost the position to Agyapong in 2014.

I would be happy if President bring back Kwabena sammy and Afoko into his government
Ben Ephson is speculating. There is no truth in this statement. He is a liar and I am surprised Ghanaians describe him as a pollster. Not even 1 of his predictions has ever come true. Please ignore him.
Kwabena Allow the NDC to destroy his political career. He kwabena can never come back, even if does nobody in NPP will ever trust him again. He followed Afoko to work for the NDC within. Kwabena is finish!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN HE COMES I WILL ALSO LEAVE.WE WON BECAUSE HE WAS OUT AND I WAS INN...SO TELL ME WHO IS THE GREATEST ASSET.BARREL ASSET WHO WAS PROJECTED BY GHANAIANS..
I had much confidence in Kwabena but with the kind of attitude he put up before the election,i think he has lost it,he really disappointed the NPP fraternity and Ghanaians as a whole .Until he owns up and apologises for him to be forgiven,there is no way he will scale through that contest,he must not try it because it will be the greatest defeat ever.Never again until he shows remorse even with that,lailai...He really broke my heart...Kwabena of all.Let anybody show that attitude of arrogance but not Kwabena. As for the appointment,its in the right direction but for his ambition,Kwabena ,you have lost it.Forget it.When you were most needed you were a disappointment.The one who stepped in your shoes and helped to calm down tempers must be elevated-JB.You have sold your birthright.
Nana the unifier. God bless President Nana Akufo Addo. We love it.
We don't want any heartache nd arrogance anymore. Let's have our peace dis time. If Nana is comfortable with them,we ar not. Saboteurs. We suffered heavily convincing nd campaigning whiles they were sabotaging or sitting iddle.Nana don't hurt us this time.
Good news but no one can take anything away from John Boadu
That move will be great, Kwabena is a great asset both to NPP and Ghana.
IF HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT AKUFFO ADDO AND THE NPP WILL WELCOME ESPECIALLY KWABENA AGYEPONG BACK TO THE PARTY ,THAT WILL BE FINE ENOUGH AND AS WELL A BRILLIANT IDEA SINCE KWABENA AGYEPONG HAS PROVED HIMSELF WELL BEYOND........ BUT UNGRATEFUL PAUL AFOKO AND CRABBE THE BETRAYERS,EVIL,DANGEROUS "JUDAS" OF THE NPP ARE NOT WELCOME...THEY STILL HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA---EVEN THE NDC WILL LAUGH AT US.PAUL AFOKO GO AWAY,GO TO HELL.Y O U B R O O D O F V I P E R S---A W A Y
