Energy analyst and New Patriotic Party (NPP) member Kwadwo Poku Nsafoah has urged the leadership of the party to urgently engage former Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in discussions aimed at addressing growing concerns within the party.
His call follows recent public comments by Mr. Agyapong that have sparked debate among party members, particularly his criticisms of the NPP’s performance in government and allegations of corruption in public contract awards.
The remarks have generated mixed reactions, with some party supporters expressing concern about their potential impact on unity within the party.
Speaking on Citi FM on Monday, June 22, Mr. Nsafoah said internal disagreements should not be allowed to escalate into broader attacks on the party.
He suggested that Mr. Agyapong’s frustrations appear to be directed at certain individuals within the party, including Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, and other leading figures.
According to him, while some of the concerns raised by the former presidential aspirant may be valid, the manner in which they were expressed has unsettled many supporters.
“When Kennedy makes such statements, people become worried. Many young party members are concerned because he has a significant following within the party,” he said.
Mr. Nsafoah noted that Mr. Agyapong’s strong performance in the NPP presidential primary, where he secured about 23 percent of the votes, reflects his continued influence within the party.
He added that party elders are aware of the tensions and are expected to address issues affecting cohesion at upcoming meetings.
“My view is that the issue should be dealt with quickly. Kennedy should be called to the table so that the concerns can be discussed and resolved,” he stated.
He stressed that constructive dialogue remains the best approach to maintaining unity and strengthening the party ahead of future political contests.
