The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant Kwabena Agyei Agyepong (KAA) has formally responded to the high-profile defection of its former Campaign Manager, Ofosu Asamoah, stating the move is “neither unexpected nor disruptive” to its mission.
In a communiqué issued on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, the KAA team asserted that their political movement is built on core principles rather than the shifting loyalties of individuals, emphasising a continuation of their grassroots-focused campaign against the monetisation of politics.
The official response, signed by Campaign Spokesperson Nana Ama Asantewaa Kwarko, acknowledged the departure of the former Kade MP, who recently declared his support for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“The campaign team of Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has taken note of the decision by our former Campaign Manager, Hon. Ofosu Asamoah, to pursue a different political path within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).”
The statement characterised the defection as a normal occurrence in the political landscape: “This development, while unfortunate is neither unexpected nor disruptive to our mission. In the dynamic landscape of politics, such defections are a feature sometimes observed even at the highest levels of national politics.”
The KAA campaign thanked Mr. Ofosu Asamoah for his service and wished him well, immediately pivoting to reassure their base.
“To our supporters, delegates, and the countless Ghanaians who believe in our vision, we say: Do not be perturbed. Our resolve is stronger than ever. This campaign is never about a single person; it is about a fundamental cause…”
The KAA campaign reiterated that its strength lies in its message of “Service, Sacrifice, and Selflessness,” contrasting its approach with that of rival campaigns. They highlighted Ing. Agyepong’s resilience following years of political adversity:
“For a decade, Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has endured orchestrated political adversity, was ostracized and maligned yet Ing Agyepong has remained steadfast, never turning his back on his beloved NPP. His commitment is forged in resilience, not in the transient allure of resources.”
The statement openly acknowledged the campaign’s lack of funding, positioning it as an anti-corruption and anti-monetization movement:
“We openly acknowledge that we do not possess the vast exchequer available to our fellow Aspirants… Our strength is in our message. A message of hope, unity, and a return to our noble roots and core values of our great party, the NPP, which is resonating powerfully with delegates across the country.”
The KAA team strongly condemned the practice of vote-buying, which they claim led to the party’s “most humiliating recent defeat”—likely referencing the substantial loss of parliamentary seats in recent general elections.
The campaign confirmed that its focus remains locked on securing victory in the upcoming January 31, 2026, presidential primaries.
The spokesperson urged supporters to maintain focus: “We call on all supporters to remain calm, focused, and doubly committed. Let us continue to work hard together, united in purpose, to deliver a victory that will set our party and our nation on the path to true prosperity.”
The communiqué concluded with the rallying cry: “Together, we shall prevail.”
