Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, Ken Agyapong 2024, has responded to reports and rumors that Kennedy Agyapong may also drop out of the race to be the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer.

The statement, dated September 7, 2023, stated that nothing of the sort would take place and that the Member of Parliament for Assin Central is still committed to his goal of becoming the party’s leader.

According to the statement, the rumors began after Alan Kyerematen, a former Minister of Trade and Industry and one of the race’s top contestants, withdrew from the key election.

“Our attention has been drawn to a rumor making the rounds particularly on social media that Honourable Ken Ohene Agyapong will soon be announcing his withdrawal from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP’s) Presidential primaries scheduled for November 4 this year. The rumor comes in the wake of the withdrawal of Honorable John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen from the race on Monday.

“We wish to assure all our teeming supporters that the Ken Ohene Agyapong campaign team is putting in place all the necessary strategies to ensure a “Showdown” come November 4.

“We therefore call on the general public especially our teeming supporters and cherished delegates of the NPP to disregard the rumor and treat with utmost contempt any news or message that purports the withdrawal of Ken from the race.”
