Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyepong has denied asking NPP delegates to reject all aspirants perceived to be President Akufo-Addo’s favourites at the party’s National Delegates Congress.

But reacting to the allegations on Adom TV’s Morning Show, “Badwam” on Tuesday, Mr. Agyapong expressed shock at the development, describing it as false.
He accused some elements in the NPP and the media of scheming hard to destroy the relationship he has with the President.
“I have never said anything like that. Some media houses and some people are only trying hard to tarnish my image and also destroy my relationship with Nana Addo. The President should not pay attention to these naysayers because those claims are false,” he said.

“I am rather surprised that my preferred candidate in the just-ended elections, Archibold, lost. I fully supported him because of his immense support to the party,” he revealed.
