Kennedy Agyapong: NPP’s 2028 “Messiah” or Victim of Political Manipulation?

As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) strategizes for a comeback following its 2024 defeat to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), internal debates over the party’s 2028 presidential candidate have reached a boiling point. In a surprising twist, the Central Region boss of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has thrown his weight behind Kennedy Agyapong, declaring him the party’s “Messiah” and warning against any attempts to sideline him.

‎A Bold Endorsement for Kennedy Agyapong

‎The NADMO boss, in an exclusive interview, passionately endorsed Kennedy Agyapong, highlighting his years of commitment to the party since 1992. According to him, Agyapong has been a pillar of support for the NPP, often using his resources to assist struggling members within the party. He contrasted this with other members who allegedly misuse party contracts for personal gain.

‎“What I’m saying is that you need to work hard as an NPP member in order to lead this party. Kennedy Agyapong has really worked hard for the NPP,” the NADMO boss remarked.

‎

Divisions Within the Party

‎The endorsement has brought to light a growing divide in the NPP. While some factions continue to back Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s 2024 flagbearer, others are rallying behind Kennedy Agyapong. This internal tension could shape the party’s ability to present a united front ahead of the 2028 elections.

‎The NADMO boss issued a stern warning, saying, “If they try to cheat Kennedy Agyapong again in 2028, it will not go down well with them at all. A cheat on Kennedy Agyapong is a cheat on all poor people in the NPP party.”

The Stakes for the NPP in 2028

‎As the party navigates this crucial decision, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With calls for transparency and fairness, the choice of the next flagbearer will not only influence the party’s chances in 2028 but also its internal cohesion. Kennedy Agyapong’s supporters believe he represents a fresh start and a path to reclaiming victory.

‎Conclusion

‎The NPP’s decision on its 2028 leadership will be a defining moment for the party. Will the leadership heed the call for fairness and rally behind Kennedy Agyapong, or will internal conflicts derail their efforts? Only time will tell if Agyapong becomes the “Messiah” the party needs.
