Audio Attachment:Listen to Kwabena Agyapong On Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' programme |
A Flagbearer aspirant of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong appears concerned about the unfair advantage that some NPP Presidential hopefuls appear to have over others in the lead up to the party's primaries.
He has therefore asked the leadership of the party to allow Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to campaign on his own for the presidential slot of the party.
According to him, the National Executives and party machinery should provide a fair and balanced platform for all aspirants to campaign to the delegates and party supporters.
Speaking in an exclusive interview interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on PeaceFM's "Kokrokoo" on Monday, the former NPP General Secretary alleged that some party members are being coerced to follow the Vice President to campaign.
" . . Dr. Bawumia has been Vice President for seven (7) years, he has his own strength so they should let him conduct his own campaign . . . it's difficult, we source for our own campaign funds, but for him as Vice President, he is fortunate because of state resources (vehicle, fuel, etc . . .), they should let him run his own campaign devoid of these logistical support," he said.
"The President cannot play the ostrich and pretend he is not privy to what is going on," he appealed to Nana Akufo-Addo to ensure a level playing field.

@Andrew, I’m with you on the charisma of Bawumia but articulation and vigorous communication Kwabena Adjei Agyapong can give Bawumia my favourite a good run for his money. I listened Kwabena this morning on Kokrookoo and I must confess he was simply superb even though I didn’t like the way and manner he played Bawumia’s leadership in 2024 down.Kwabena Adjepong was very good considering the fact that the chairman general was asking very tough and intruding questions. I hope Kwabena will join Bawumia’s campaign after the primary.
Relax Mr Ayapong, Bawumia's strength and campaign logistic is not an issues at all...are you saying as vice president he should pack his official vehicles and go out with private ones since he's contesting a presidential candidate,where on earth this happen...it doeasn't make sense...as for campaigning no doubt he's charismatic,articulate and vigorous than any of you.He's the only person who propagate the gov't's track records...
Do you want Dr. Bawumia to resign?
Kwabena, I wanted you as vice to Bawumiah. This advantage cannot be separated because he has duties to perform.
Still bitter!
In 2007 Kwabena Agyapong was among the 17 who were vying to become the presidential candidate for the Npp so he was not supporting Alan. Again, Kwabena Agyapongg was the campaign manager for Akuffu Addo in 1998 Npp primaries. It was surprising how Kufour appointed Kwabena Agyepong as his spokesperson. It tells us how good Kwabena Agyapng is. I support Bawumia because I think he is the best for the Npp to win the 2024 election but what Kwabena is suggesting should be listened in good faith. We need everyone on board after the primaries so there should be a level playing field for everyone so that nobody will feel cheated. After all it is clear that Bawumia is the overwhelming favourite so the Npp leadership need not do anything that will leave room for complaints.
This guy again! He will NOT even get 2 votes, jet he will cause too ooo much trouble with his pronouncements. Haaaba, Kwabena!
Kwabena Again? you did the same thing in 2014, there was a time when you accused Jake of making a donation on Akufo's behave
Dr. Bawumia does not need Nana Addo or other state officials to campaign for him or support his campaign. He already has thousands of volunteers who are sacrificing their money, time and resources to campaign and get him elected, both as flagbearer and subsequently as president. Gauging from the mood of the country, you can easily predict that Bawumia will be Ghana's next president, so please relax.
You can see your defeat in your own shadow. Wise up & withdraw now because your attitude is will make you come last in the special or extraordinary delegates conference
