Kwesi Pratt has expressed surprise over the results that Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong attained in the New Patriotic Party's presidential election.
The New Patriotic Party held its election on Saturday, November 4, electing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as their flagbearer.
However, the contest, which was dubbed 'showdown' saw his closest rival, Kennedy Agyapong put up an impressive performance by polling over 70,000 votes representing 37.41% as against Dr. Bawumia's over 100,000 votes representing 61.47%.
Mr. Pratt, speaking on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo", was shocked that Kennedy Agyapong could pull such number of votes but admittedly stated that the votes are a reflection of the level of confidence Ghanaians have in him.
He noted that those who support Kennedy Agyapong are largely non-members of the New Patriotic Party but the ordinary Ghanaians like the traders, taxi drivers and so forth who believe he possesses qualities that would help the nation.
To Kwesi Pratt, Ken's performance has shifted the political paradigm, stating that "it may just be a reflection of the disillusionment of the population with regular politicians and regular political parties. It may just be a reflection of the clamour for a third force".
"Something has started in our politics which shows that the old way of doing things has to change. People are getting fed with what is traditional, what is normal," he stressed.

Ken please go independent to save mother Ghana... We can't wait after 2028...your time is now
Kwesi Pratt's hatred for NPP is now legendary. How can you make such a suggestion that KEN should break away and become a third force? We know your hatred comes from the day Sheikh I.C Quaye upstaged you and won the elections for NPP when the Great Alliance wanted you as the parliamentary candidate for the CPP. It's time for you to go on retirement from the political talk and take care of your grandkids. Hating the NPP will never put food on your table. Maybe I am wrong. NDC coming back to power will be the best thing to happen to you, but it will not happen, my dear brother.
oh uncle kwesi, how can you hint of a 3rd force. let him try it and see. from party delegates and you jump to conclude or hint of a 3rd force, eh massa. Let him ken try in a general elections and when voters have other options of parties and lets see. you yourself can try it. remember GUM, Agudey came oh also a business man like indoom etc and what did the voters do. thanks
Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous and divisive politician in Ghana now,his hate,envy and jealously against NPP drives him to say/do anything against NPP...he's subtly telling Ken to break and form a party,he wish NPP is collapsed,simply coz NPP doesn't give him free money,he's on paylist of NDC.Pratt is so evil!
Is Kwesi Pratt clandestinely suggesting that Kennedy Agyapong should break away from NPP and form his own party?
