An aide to Kennedy Agyapong has dismissed claims that the outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart ever considered leaving the party or contesting as an independent candidate.
Charles Bissue, Campaign Administrator for the Ken Agyapong team, said Agyapong’s loyalty to the NPP remains firm and is rooted in his decades-long commitment as a founding member.
He noted that the former lawmaker’s dedication was evident during the 2024 general election campaign, when he personally visited eight constituencies to support Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s presidential candidate.
“In 2023, some people went to his house and wanted him to become an independent candidate. He drove them away, saying that the NPP has made him who he is,” Bissue said on The Forum on Asaase Radio on Saturday.
Bissue added that Agyapong has never expressed any intention to abandon the party or refuse to support its elected leaders.
“Somebody who is a founding member of the party, I think, the party is dear to his heart. He has never said he would leave the party or refuse to help any winning candidate,” he stated.
He stressed that unity among key party figures such as Agyapong and Bawumia will be essential as the NPP prepares for future elections.
“If Kennedy wins, he would need Dr Bawumia; and if Dr Bawumia wins, he would need Kennedy and the others,” Bissue emphasised in an interview with Asaase Radio.
His remarks come amid growing scrutiny of internal dynamics within the NPP as the party repositions itself for the 2028 presidential race following its loss in the 2024 general elections.
