Tuesday morning, a panel of Justices Angelina Mensah Homiah, Emmanuel S. Amedane, and Douglas Seidu dismissed Mr. Agyapong’s application for a stay of proceedings.

The Court reasoned that even if the High Court trial proceeds to judgment, such judgment would not be rendered nugatory should his interlocutory appeal succeed.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs, led by Samson Lardy Anyenini, had urged the court to impose hefty costs, describing the application as part of deliberate delay tactics that ought to be punished.

Counsel for Mr. Agyapong, Raphael Agyapong, pleaded for a reduction, and the Court eventually awarded GH¢10,000 against the former MP.

This marks the second failed attempt by Mr. Agyapong to stall the trial. His earlier application for stay of proceedings, filed in 2023 after the trial began, was dismissed by the High Court for being frivolous.

Background to the Case

The defamation suit stems from allegations made by Mr. Agyapong in July 2021, when he repeated claims, including that the Multimedia Group had demanded money from the government and harboured a vendetta against it.

The company described these as false and defamatory statements and announced its decision to sue, citing reckless attacks on its reputation and journalists.

The plaintiffs argue that the High Court was right to admit evidence of similar defamatory comments made by Mr. Agyapong in 2011, for which he retracted and apologised, but repeated in 2021. They contend that the repetition compelled them to sue, making the earlier conduct relevant to the case.

Trial Resumes

On 27^th January 2026, the case resumed before a new judge, Justice Sedina Agbemava. The plaintiffs and their counsel were present, but the defendants and their lawyers were absent. The court adjourned proceedings to 11^th February 2026, when it adopted prior testimony and continued the trial.

With the Court of Appeal now dismissing the stay application, the path is clear for the High Court to continue hearing the substantive defamation claims against Mr. Agyapong.

Speaking on Accra-based Channel One TV, the Minority Leader revealed that Mr. Agyapong invested $5 million in his business without any formal contract, describing the gesture as a personal risk rooted in trust and friendship.

“When my business ran down, Kennedy gave me $5 million; we didn’t sign any agreement. He took a risk on me by giving me that money. We’re more than a family; there’s a history to it. It’s not right to cut the relationship. It’s a relationship we have. If he won in Winneba, so what? People should stop it; we have moved past that,” he said.

Afenyo-Markin added that Kennedy had also contributed vehicles to support various constituency projects.

He further disclosed plans to construct an ICT facility in Mr. Agyapong’s honour, a project conceived five years ago, underscoring their ongoing collaboration and mutual respect.

“I’m constructing an ICT facility, which, being named after him, was conceived five years ago; it’s a big project,” he stated.

He also commented on the attention Kennedy Agyapong received after polling 644 votes in the NPP presidential primary, compared to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 79 votes.

Some observers suggested that, although Afenyo-Markin did not publicly campaign for Agyapong, he may have influenced the outcome in his constituency.

Explaining the result, Afenyo-Markin said the large margin was not surprising, given the years of initiatives and support provided to constituents.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Frimpong said Kennedy Agyapong “will never break away from the NPP” and has never contemplated forming another political party.

He emphasised that Mr. Agyapong’s dedication to the NPP remains “unbroken, unshaken, and unchanged,” despite speculation following the declaration of the party’s flagbearer results.

Addressing concerns over Mr. Agyapong’s absence from some recent party events, including the national thanksgiving ceremony, the spokesperson said such concerns were understandable but misplaced, noting that the former Assin Central MP was out of town at the time.

Mr. Frimpong also questioned the assumption that party members are obliged to visit the elected flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, after an internal contest to demonstrate support.

“Not every party member has visited Bawumia at his residence; does that mean they do not support him? Regarding Ken’s absence from the national thanksgiving ceremony, I understand the expectations, as he is a leading member of the party and ideally should be present. However, the truth is that he was out of town,” he said.

In addition to directing that the matter be reheard, the appellate court has ordered Mr Baako to refund all monies received pursuant to the previous High Court ruling within 30 days.

The decision marks a significant turn in a legal dispute that dates back to around 2018, when Mr Baako initiated a defamation suit against Mr Agyapong, alleging that the latter had made defamatory statements about him.

Appeal Upheld

Speaking to journalists following the ruling, legal counsel for Mr Agyapong welcomed the decision, describing it as consistent with established legal principles.

“The court is the court and the law is the law,” he said. “The court can turn a blue eye to a red eye, but the Court of Appeal has followed the law from the Supreme Court. I think what they did was in the right direction.”

According to the defence, the Court of Appeal found that the earlier High Court judgment was flawed due to what it described as a statutory breach that was “fundamental” and went “to the root, the very core” of the case.

While the specific nature of the breach is expected to be clarified in the full written judgment, the appellate court’s finding was sufficient to nullify the High Court’s decision and pave the way for a fresh hearing.

Background to the Case

The dispute began when Mr Baako, as plaintiff, sued Mr Agyapong for defamation. The High Court subsequently ruled in favour of Mr Baako.

However, Mr Agyapong’s legal team challenged that decision on appeal, raising, among other issues, concerns relating to statutory compliance and limitation periods.

“He is the plaintiff, but there is also a statute of limitation, so we are waiting,” counsel remarked, suggesting that questions surrounding the timeliness of the action formed part of the defence’s argument.

The lawyer also revealed that attempts had been made to settle the matter amicably.

“We tried to settle when Sir John was alive. We tried all means, but there was no success,” he said, referring to the late Sir John, a prominent political figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Refund and Next Steps

As part of its ruling, the Court of Appeal directed that all payments made to Mr Baako under the High Court judgment be refunded within 30 days. The order effectively resets the financial and legal positions of the parties pending the retrial.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Super Morning Show on Monday, February 2, Dr Amoah said he was preparing to visit Mr Agyapong and stressed that the outspoken politician remained in good spirits after the outcome of the January 31 contest.

“Even this morning, I’m trying to tie up one or two issues, and then I was still going to see Kennedy Agyapong. By the grace of God, he’s doing perfectly well,” he said.

Dr Amoah described Mr Agyapong as a resilient political figure who understands the nature of competitive politics, noting that the defeat had not diminished his strength or character.

“He’s a politician, and you know the kind of person he is. If you’re close to him, he’s a different person altogether. He’s very fine,” the MP added.

Kennedy Agyapong was one of the leading contenders in the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primary held on January 31, as the party elected its flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Dr Amoah’s comments come amid public interest in how aspirants who were unsuccessful in the closely watched contest are responding, with party leaders urging unity and calm as the NPP prepares for the next phase of its political campaign.

The reassurance from the Nhyiaeso MP is expected to ease concerns among party supporters, particularly given the intensity of the flagbearer race, which nonetheless ended peacefully.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has appealed to his supporters to remain calm and united following early outcomes from the party’s presidential primaries.

Speaking to journalists after results from a number of constituencies showed him trailing in the race, Mr Agyapong stressed the importance of discipline and respect for the party’s internal democratic processes.

“We have to stay calm. We believe in the party. The delegates have spoken, and we have to take it,” he stated.

He warned supporters against taking steps that could injure the party’s cohesion or turn frustrations against fellow members.

“Do not use this against anybody in the party. Once they have decided, let’s all come together as party members and work together.”

Reflecting on his political journey, Mr Agyapong noted that setbacks are part of public life and should be handled with maturity.

“In politics, you can win, you can lose. I’m a veteran politician, so I know. I’ve gone through several defeats.”

He said he had mentally prepared himself for any possible outcome.

“I cushioned myself and expected the worst, and the worst has happened. But the worst doesn’t mean that it is the end of life.”

Mr Agyapong also rejected calls by some supporters to protest the outcome by withholding votes in future elections.

“Don’t say ‘no Ken, no vote’. If it had been Ken, what would other contestants’ supporters have said? So ‘no Ken, no vote’ should be out.”

Thanking his campaign team, he praised their commitment throughout the contest and urged supporters not to lose heart.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank Team Ken for the wonderful work you’ve done. We all admit we worked hard, but God’s time is the best. He knows what is good for us.”

He concluded with an appeal for optimism despite disappointment.

“I know most of you are dejected. You have to keep your spirit up, because once we have life, we have everything. So don’t be dejected,” he said.

In a statement titled “Public Statement & Apology,” the cleric admitted that he wrongly foretold that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the NPP’s flagbearer contest and lead the party into the next election.

“That word did not come to pass. I missed it. I was wrong, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness,” he said.

Prophet Nelson-Eshun acknowledged that he made the declaration openly through a book, videos and several media appearances, speaking with what he described as prophetic authority, which caused many people to rely on his message.

He admitted the prophecy influenced people emotionally, spiritually and politically, especially those who took actions based on the prediction.

“I take full responsibility for this prophetic word,” he stated, stressing that he was not seeking to shift blame or offer excuses for the outcome.

The prophet said the apology was part of his commitment to accountability and truthfulness to his followers and the wider public following the outcome of the primaries.

Speaking at his campaign office at Shiashie, Mr Agyapong admitted the result was a setback but insisted it did not signal the end of his political relevance or that of his followers in the NPP.

“The worst has happened, but that’s not the end of the road,” he told the gathering. “Politics is a long journey, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. What matters is how you conduct yourself after the results.”

He expressed gratitude to his campaign team and supporters for their dedication and sacrifices during the contest, saying their loyalty and energy would always be appreciated.

Mr Agyapong urged them to remain calm and avoid behaviour that could worsen tensions within the party.

“I am proud of all of you for the work you have done. I want everybody to stay peaceful and disciplined. The NPP is bigger than all of us, and we must protect it,” he said.

The former MP also stressed the importance of unity after the primaries, encouraging party members to set aside differences and rally behind the party’s broader objective.

“At the end of the day, we are one family. We may have competed fiercely, but after the contest, we must come together and support the party to move forward,” Mr Agyapong added.

His comments come as the NPP wraps up its presidential primary, a process many observers have described as one of the most competitive internal elections in the party’s history.

Prior to the election, Amoah had predicted that Kennedy Agyapong would perform strongly in seven regions during the NPP primaries, citing polling data that suggested Agyapong could secure 35 to 40% of votes on average.

Per his observation, most Ghanaians seem to support Kennedy Agyapong, and would want a different face to lead the NPP. However, the delegates voted otherwise.

Despite the unexpected result in Nhyiaeso, Amoah emphasized that the peaceful conduct of the election reflects the maturity of party delegates and the commitment to democratic processes within the NPP.

Per provisional results for both polling areas in the constituency, Dr. Bawumia received 900 votes, while Agyapong polled 530 votes.

Dr. Bryan Acheampong came third with 240 votes, followed by Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum with 22 votes and Ing. Kwabena Adjei Agyapong with 3 votes.

Dome Kwabenya is considered a key hotspot in the primary, as it is the constituency of Kennedy Agyapong’s former partner, Adwoa Safo, who actively campaigned against him,

Political observers noted the unusual dynamics in the race, with reports that she actively campaigned for Dr. Bawumia, contributing to his strong showing in the area.

Polling agents across other constituencies continue to count votes cast, with the NPP promising to release consolidated results once all areas have been tallied.

In the Asikuma Odobeng Brakwa Constituency, Agyapong received 397 votes, outpacing Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who polled 267 votes, Dr Bryan Acheampong with 104 votes, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum with 9 votes, and Ing Kwabena Adjei Agyapong with 2 votes.

At the Effutu Constituency, Agyapong dominated with 644 votes, far ahead of Dr Bawumia (79 votes) and Dr Bryan Acheampong (32 votes), while Ing Kwabena Adjei Agyapong secured 2 votes. Dr Adutwum did not register any votes in the constituency.

In the Assin North Constituency, Agyapong again led decisively with 407 votes, followed by Dr Bryan Acheampong (83 votes) and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia (40 votes). Both Dr Adutwum and Ing Kwabena Adjei Agyapong recorded no votes in this constituency.

These early results underline Agyapong’s strong foothold in key constituencies and highlight the competitive nature of the NPP presidential primary as delegates continue to cast their ballots.

Speaking to Adom News at the ongoing 2026 NPP Presidential Primaries at Ho Ola Senior High School, Mr. Ahaze described the former Assin Central Member of Parliament as a bold, results-oriented leader with grassroots appeal and the financial independence needed to mount a formidable national campaign.

“Kennedy Agyapong is the best candidate to wrest power from the NDC in 2028,” Mr. Ahaze said. “He connects with ordinary Ghanaians, speaks their language, and has consistently demonstrated courage in addressing national issues.”

He highlighted Agyapong’s outspoken nature and track record in both politics and business as key strengths that could energize the party’s base and attract floating voters nationwide.

Mr. Ahaze also called on party supporters to foster unity at the constituency level, stressing that internal cohesion would be critical to the NPP’s success in the next election.

Kennedy Agyapong, a prominent businessman and longtime political figure within the NPP, continues to command significant grassroots support.

The Ho Central chairman’s endorsement adds to growing discussions within the party about its future leadership as it prepares for upcoming political contests.

Speaking to journalists at a polling centre in Assin Central, Central Region, Mr. Agyapong said he does not anticipate a repeat of the incidents that marred the party’s 2023 presidential primary.

“I don’t think there will be a repetition of what happened in 2023. We hope it doesn’t happen. We have all done our job well to prevent rigging and everything, so I expect a fair contest,” he said.

Mr. Agyapong also pledged to unite the party if he emerges victorious, stressing the importance of cohesion ahead of the 2028 general elections.

“If I’m the winner, I will be able to bring the party together,” he stated.

He added that, regardless of the outcome, the party must remain united, noting that internal contests can be tough but should not create lasting divisions.

“This shouldn’t be a problem at all. We’re all going to come together as one party and work. Sometimes contests get tough, and words may be used that are not palatable, but that doesn’t mean anyone should leave the party,” he said.

Mr. Agyapong also appealed to delegates to vote in his favour, urging them to “vote number one.”

The NPP presidential primaries are currently underway nationwide. Mr. Agyapong is contesting the party’s flagbearer position against former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Minister for Food and Agriculture Dr. Bryan Acheampong, former Minister of Education Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.

Mr. Agyapong made the remarks to the media in Assin Central shortly before casting his vote.

He acknowledged that internal party contests are often fiercely competitive and can generate disagreements, but emphasized that such moments should not undermine party cohesion.

“Robust political competition can sometimes involve harsh language, but that is part of the democratic process and should not create lasting divisions,” he said.

“I don’t see it as a problem. At the end of the day, we will all come together as one party. In any contest, things can get tough and certain words may be used that are not pleasant, but that does not mean anyone should walk away. If I am declared the winner, I believe I will be able to bring everyone together.”

Mr. Agyapong stressed that unity will be crucial for the NPP’s success after the primaries, noting that all aspirants must work collectively to strengthen the party and prepare for future electoral battles.

Responding to the claims on Top Story, Fred Tetteh, Deputy Director of Research at the EC, dismissed the assertions as baseless.

“There is no iota of truth in what has been being circulated. That’s what I can say for now,” Tetteh stated on Friday.

The dismissal follows a press release from the Agyapong campaign, which called for heightened vigilance from the EC and the Ghana Police Service.

The statement alleged that, due to a shortage of official vehicles, the EC was using approved private vehicles to convey ballots, but cited “isolated incidents” in three regions where papers were allegedly moved without proper branding or escort.

When pressed on the Commission’s readiness for Saturday’s crucial internal election, Mr Tetteh expressed full confidence.

“Everything is set for tomorrow. Everything is ready, all the officials are ready, and as I have been saying, the Commission will deliver a professional job tomorrow,” he assured.

He further reiterated the EC’s commitment to a credible process.

“We will go into the elections, treat everything fairly, and undertake our responsibilities in light of integrity and in a transparent manner.”

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Dr. Aidoo was asked to assess the five aspirants seeking to lead the party into the next general election. In his response, he said Mr Agyapong does not meet the standard required for the presidency.

“So far among the candidates, personally, I think Kennedy Agyapong should opt out,” he stated.

Dr Aidoo explained his position using strong language, arguing that the NPP lawmaker lacks the temperament expected of a presidential candidate.

“We don’t want a braggart who lies about people to be our president,” he said on the programme.

According to him, Mr Agyapong does not fit the office of the President. “He is not presidential material,” Dr Aidoo added.

The New Patriotic Party is scheduled to hold its presidential primaries on Saturday, January 31, as part of preparations towards the next general election.

The other aspirants include former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia; former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr Bryan Acheampong; Bosomtwe MP, former Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum; and former NPP General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.

A stalwart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and veteran legislator, Agyapong’s journey from Assin Dompim in the Central Region to becoming a leading aspirant for the NPP’s 2028 presidential ticket has been shaped as much by his entrepreneurship as by his unfiltered public voice.

Roots, Education and Business Foundations

Born on June 16, 1960, Agyapong’s early life was anchored in the Central Region, where he attended Adisadel College before progressing to Fordham University in New York, USA.

His time abroad opened doors into business and laid the foundation for ventures that would later define his public persona.

Back in Ghana, Agyapong built a diversified business portfolio spanning media outlets, real estate, agriculture and retail.

His companies, including television and radio stations, agribusiness and the Hollywood Shopping Centre, have employed thousands, a fact he often cites as evidence of his ability to create jobs and spur economic activity.

Parliamentary Career: From Assin North to Assin Central

Agyapong entered formal politics in 2000, winning the parliamentary seat for Assin North on the NPP ticket. Following constituency re-demarcation, he continued his legislative career as Member of Parliament for Assin Central from 2013 to 2025, securing re-election multiple times as a powerful voice in Parliament.

During his tenure, he chaired the Defence and Interior Committee, and served on other key parliamentary committees, elevating his profile as a lawmaker unafraid of addressing sensitive national issues.

A Fiery Orator and Controversial Persona

Known for his direct, often confrontational political style, Agyapong has built a reputation as one of Ghana’s most outspoken politicians.

Critics have sometimes labeled his rhetoric as divisive, while supporters see it as honest and unvarnished political engagement.

His campaign team, however, maintains that the current state of the NPP demands a bold and fearless leader, and they believe Mr. Agyapong, whom they describe as a “raptor”, is the most suitable candidate to lead the party as flagbearer.

In recent months, he has signalled a shift in tone, from political firebrand to nation-builder, emphasizing collaboration and pragmatic solutions, while holding onto his core appeal as a champion of ordinary Ghanaians.

Presidential Ambitions: A Second Flagbearer Bid

Agyapong’s aspirations for Ghana’s highest office first gained national attention in the 2023 NPP primaries, where he placed a strong second with a significant share of delegate votes.

That campaign, driven by a focus on employment, anti-corruption and economic transformation, positioned him as a credible alternative to the party establishment.

As the 2026 NPP presidential primaries approach, he has relaunched his bid with renewed vigour, framing his leadership pitch around job creation, industrial growth and economic renewal.

He argues that leadership must go beyond electioneering handouts to deliver sustainable employment and dignity for Ghana’s youth.

Supporters within and outside the party point to his private-sector track record and broad appeal across generations as strengths in a party seeking renewed momentum after the 2024 general election loss.

Campaign allies have described him as a credible, independent candidate with a message that resonates widely.

Balancing Criticism and Support

Agyapong’s public life has not been without controversy, with observers debating whether his outspoken style energizes or polarizes public discourse.

Yet his emphasis on economic pragmatism, especially in tackling youth unemployment, aligns with pressing national concerns and shapes his appeal among delegates and potential voters.

Looking Ahead

As the NPP counts down to January 31, 2026, Kennedy Agyapong remains a central figure in the unfolding narrative of political renewal.

Whether his blend of business experience, bold messaging and grassroots reach will translate into flagbearer success is a question that will define the party’s trajectory toward the 2028 general elections.

In a political landscape hungry for both stability and transformation, Agyapong’s story, from entrepreneur to experienced legislator and presidential hopeful, underscores the complex interplay of rhetoric, leadership and ambition in modern Ghanaian politics.

Speaking on JoyNews Desk on Thursday, barely 78 hours before the election, Mr Kwarteng argued that, among the five contenders, only Mr Agyapong has articulated a coherent and compelling message to party delegates.

He said Mr Agyapong has toured the country to engage delegates and communicate a vision centred on empowerment if given the mandate.

“So far, we are the only team that has demonstrated that we have a message that we are selling to the delegates. Kennedy Agyapong has been consistent and very clear that give me the vote, and I will give you power. So Kennedy Agyapong has always been consistent that if you give him the vote, he will give you power,” he said.

He added that the campaign goes beyond empowerment to a broader national agenda focused on employment.

“But beyond that, he goes beyond power and then makes a national promise, a national message, and that message is jobs,” he argued.

Mr Kwarteng claimed that other aspirants have failed to prioritise and communicate their messages with similar clarity.

“And that is clear; no other aspirant has been able to put his priority on his message like that. Dr Bawumia is our close contender. If I ask you the message he is preaching, it will be difficult for you to tell,” he said.

According to him, this consistency sets Mr Agyapong apart from the other contenders, including former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and makes his campaign resonate more strongly with delegates nationwide.

About 211,849 delegates of the NPP are expected to vote at 333 polling centres across the country on Sunday, January 31, to elect the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general election.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Prophet Worlasi claimed the election process would not be smooth, alleging that there would be hitches, unrest and even gunshots, with full results unlikely to be declared by 5pm on the day.

According to him, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia would eventually emerge victorious, but the outcome would be contested by Kennedy Agyapong, whom he said would refuse to accept the results.

He further alleged that although Dr Bawumia would win the contest fairly, some party supporters would still accuse him of rigging the election.

“Once God has spoken through me, it will surely come to pass. By 5pm, we will not have the complete results,” he said.

“There will be hiccups, tension, riots and gunfire during the NPP primaries. It is not going to be a smooth election. However, at the end of the day, Dr Bawumia will win.

“Ken Agyapong will likely not accept the results. Even though Bawumia will win fairly, some people will believe the election was rigged,” Prophet Worlasi stated.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, the prophet said he received a divine revelation on May 6 regarding the outcome of the NPP flagbearer contest.

“On the 6th of May, an angel appeared to me. Whenever this angel appears, I know he is about to reveal something significant,” he said.

According to Prophet Worlasi, the angel took him through a vision in which he initially believed Kennedy Agyapong had won the contest.

“I saw a whirlwind carry my spirit to another place. I noticed Kennedy Agyapong leading a congregation in celebration, and I thought the angel was showing me Ken’s victory. But the angel told me no,” he recounted.

He explained that the angel later showed him a voting scene where supporters of Kennedy Agyapong eventually switched allegiance to Dr Bawumia.

“He took me to a place where people were voting. Some were wearing Kennedy Agyapong’s attire, but after voting, they changed into Bawumia’s clothing. The angel told me that this would be the final outcome of the election — that Bawumia would be elected as the next flagbearer of the NPP,” he claimed.

The pastor further alleged that Kennedy Agyapong is facing spiritual opposition due to past actions, stating that “even the land has rejected him.”

“There is no way Kennedy Agyapong can win this contest,” he insisted. “Many things are working against him spiritually. His actions have created obstacles, and because he has not apologised for them, these issues continue to follow him.”

Prophet Worlasi said he has since received additional revelations reinforcing his claim.

“Since that encounter, I have had three significant visions. After the election, I will reveal the reasons behind this vision. Time will tell,” he stated.

• Kennedy Agyapong has what it takes to create jobs – UEW Professor urges NPP delegates

According to Prof. Sekyi Baidoo, Ghana has previously elected leaders who are lawyers, economists, and doctors, but none have effectively tackled unemployment.

He argued that it is now time for a businessman to lead the country, someone who understands how to generate jobs.

He urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to prioritize the welfare and development of Ghana over personal interests.

Speaking to the media, Prof. Sekyi Baidoo highlighted that universities across the country have produced numerous graduates since independence, yet access to jobs remains a major challenge because leaders lack practical knowledge in job creation.

He also expressed concern about Ghana’s continued dependence on imported rice and onions, despite having vast arable land that could support local production.

“Ghanaians need a leader who can bring discipline, create jobs, and develop the country,” he said, adding that Kennedy Agyapong possesses the qualities to achieve these goals.

Prof. Sekyi Baidoo further cautioned NPP delegates against being swayed by propaganda from other candidates targeting Kennedy Agyapong. He noted that the younger generation, particularly Gen Z, is more interested in solutions and opportunities than in political rhetoric.

He concluded by urging delegates to make the right choice in the upcoming primaries, emphasizing that voting against Kennedy Agyapong could jeopardize the party’s chances in the 2028 elections.

Prof. Sekyi Baidoo also addressed concerns about Kennedy Agyapong’s public image, noting that some of the criticism and abuse attributed to him is either wrongly attributed or misinterpreted. He added that Agyapong’s seemingly aggressive nature could be an advantage, as it can be managed to help combat indiscipline and corruption—issues Ghana seriously needs to address.

“All in all, Ken’s negatives as a human being come nowhere near his pragmatism, patriotism, and sympathy for others. These are the qualities delegates should focus on when voting for him come Saturday,” he concluded.

The defamation case was filed by the Chief Executive Officer of The Multimedia Group, Kwasi Twum, and Joy FM against former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.

In 2021, The Multimedia Group sued the former lawmaker, his media organisation, and three of his employees over alleged defamatory statements made against the company and some of its staff.

The suit seeks, among other reliefs, an order compelling the defendants to substantiate the allegations made.

The court had earlier exercised its discretion in 2023 to put the trial on hold after dismissing an application for a stay of proceedings, pending an interlocutory appeal filed by Mr. Agyapong shortly after the trial commenced on October 17, 2023.

However, the court later indicated its readiness to resume the trial after it emerged that the defendants were no longer actively pursuing the appeal at the Court of Appeal.

The case has now been adjourned to February 11 for the adoption of proceedings and continuation of the trial.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Mr Dankwah explained that for Mr Agyapong to stand a chance, the support base of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia would have had to decline significantly.

“For Ken to win, Bawumia’s numbers should have dropped into the 30s, and I don’t see that happening. I have worked with data and I know how figures behave. From where I sit, there is no path for Ken to win,” he said.

According to data presented by Global InfoAnalytics among committed voters, Dr Bawumia leads the race with 51 per cent support, followed by Kennedy Agyapong with 26 per cent, while 23 per cent of respondents remain undecided.

Mr Dankwah noted that the wide margin points to a solid support base for Dr Bawumia, making it unlikely that any late surge by rival contenders would significantly alter the outcome of the contest.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Mr Dankwah explained that his firm’s daily tracking polls showed a sharp decline in Agyapong’s numbers immediately after videos of his attacks went viral.

“Towards the last month of the campaign, Kennedy Agyapong lost a bit of concentration, and by the last week, it became worse. The videos of his attack on Bawumia—when it happened on Monday, by Tuesday we saw him collapsing in our numbers,” he said.

Global InfoAnalytics conducted continuous polling between December 29 and January 23, sampling about 500 NPP delegates daily from Monday to Friday.

According to Mr Dankwah, the firm had the advantage of observing shifts in voter behavior in real time.

“Monday to Friday we do the polls, sampling 500 people daily, and it was very dramatic. We saw clearly what was happening,” he noted.

He explained that the controversial video did not energize Agyapong’s base as some supporters expected, but instead alienated many delegates uncomfortable with his open attacks on a leading party figure.

“So anybody who thinks the video gingered the base doesn’t know the NPP delegates,” Mr Dankwah stressed.

He revealed that as Agyapong’s support dropped, Abetifi MP and fellow contender Bryan Acheampong experienced a noticeable surge.

“Between the 16th and the 23rd, Bryan jumped and benefitted directly from Ken’s fall. The last five days of the polls showed that clearly,” he said.

Mr Dankwah added that Global InfoAnalytics released its full report on January 23, by which time the damaging video had already been widely circulated and its impact fully reflected in their data.

“We issued the full report on the 23rd and the video was already in circulation. Because we poll daily, we have the luxury of seeing in real time what is happening,” he explained.

He dismissed suggestions that the footage energized Agyapong’s base, insisting that NPP delegates reacted negatively instead.

The former Assin Central MP faced scrutiny after launching a series of attacks over comments made by Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, which were wrongly attributed to Dr Bawumia.

Despite the backlash and calls for an apology, Dr Bawumia remained calm and urged his team to stay focused on the campaign.

Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Bissue said Kennedy Agyapong possesses a rare combination of qualities that make him fit for the presidency.

“Some people have money, others have wisdom, and some have strength, but Kennedy Agyapong has all three,” he said.

According to him, Kennedy Agyapong has over the years used his personal resources to support the party and assist individuals across society, even though many of these efforts often go unnoticed.

“He has spent his own money to help the party and people in society. A lot of what he does is not even seen by the public,” Mr. Bissue noted.

He also pointed to Kennedy Agyapong’s long parliamentary experience, stressing that the former MP has served in Parliament for 24 years and played key roles on several important committees.

“For 24 years, he has been a lawmaker. He has served on many committees, including chairing the Defence and Interior Committee, which is one of the most sensitive committees in Parliament,” he said.

Mr. Bissue questioned why someone with such experience would be described as not being “presidential material.”

“If someone has been in Parliament for 24 years and wants to become President, why should anyone say he cannot lead?” he asked.

He further argued that Kennedy Agyapong’s outspoken nature should not be mistaken for indiscipline, explaining that his criticisms of the party are driven by a desire to correct its mistakes.

“What the NPP is doing wrong is what he talks about. There is nothing like a vote of secrecy in leadership. You must speak the truth,” he stated.

Mr. Bissue added that Kennedy Agyapong’s personality sets him apart, noting his willingness to accept responsibility and apologise when he makes mistakes.

“If he does something wrong, he accepts it and apologises. That is leadership,” he said.

He also expressed concern about the current state of the NPP, saying the party has declined in discipline and communication.

“Our party is not what it used to be. Some people insult others and don’t even know how to communicate properly,” he observed.

According to him, discipline is the foundation of unity, and Kennedy Agyapong is the leader capable of restoring both.

“When there is discipline, there will be unity. Kennedy Agyapong is the one who can bring that discipline,” he stressed.

The NPP’s presidential primary, scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, is expected to be keenly contested. The aspirants include former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former NPP General Secretary Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Abetifi MP Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Bosomtwe MP Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kennedy Agyapong.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Bissue dismissed the narrative and mocked the criteria being used to judge leadership suitability.

“I beg them, is it GTP or Printex when they talk of presidential material?” he asked. “What exactly do they mean by material?”

His comments come amid debate within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the suitability of aspirants contesting the party’s January 31 presidential primary.

According to Bissue, Kennedy Agyapong’s political appeal is rooted in his ability to connect with ordinary party supporters, describing him as a natural crowd puller.

“Kennedy Agyapong is like a magnet, and over the years, he has proven it,” he said.

He argued that popularity and grassroots strength, rather than elite branding, should define a presidential contender.

To illustrate his point, Bissue proposed an open test among the aspirants.

“If we want, we can assemble all the aspirants. Each of them will be assigned a day to address delegates, and we will see the number of crowds each will pull,” he stated.

According to him, the outcome would be clear.

“Kennedy Agyapong’s numbers will be phenomenal,” Bissue added.

He maintained that the former MP’s visibility, consistency, and ability to mobilise supporters across regions make him a serious contender, contrary to attempts by critics to downplay his credentials.

Bissue stressed that leadership should not be judged by polished appearances but by influence, trust, and connection with the grassroots.

“When people say presidential material, they should explain whether they are talking about branding or leadership. For us, Kennedy has shown over the years that people believe in him,” he noted.

His remarks reflect the growing intensity within the NPP as aspirants and their camps seek to shape public perception ahead of the party’s crucial flagbearer contest.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, the prophet said he has already documented the revelation in a book detailing the outcome of the 2028 general elections.

According to him, God has revealed the full details of the 2028 polls, including the eventual winner, adding that Kennedy Agyapong will emerge victorious and be sworn into office on January 7, 2029.

“There are a lot of things. I have written a book about who will win the 2028 elections. In fact, Kennedy Agyapong will be sworn in as President of Ghana on January 7, 2029. He will win the 2028 elections,” he stated.

Prophet El-Bernard further indicated that he is awaiting the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to announce the date for its internal elections before making public his prediction on who will lead the party into the 2028 polls.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, the prophet said the outcome of the contest has already been spiritually determined and cannot be altered.

“No rigging can change what is true. It has already happened. Ken has already won,” he declared.

Prophet El-Bernard explained that his pronouncement is not an endorsement or campaign for the Assin Central MP but a revelation he believes God has shown him.

He added that he does not dispute prophecies by other religious leaders, stressing that he only speaks to what he has personally seen.

According to him, Kennedy Agyapong is set to emerge as the NPP flagbearer and will go on to win the 2028 general elections.

“This is not about campaigning for Kennedy but about what God has told me. By God’s will, on Saturday, Ken will be the flagbearer, and he will go on to win the 2028 elections,” he stated.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, the cleric expressed confidence in the outcome, insisting that the results will clearly favour Mr. Agyapong by the close of voting.

He further predicted that by 5pm on election day, Kennedy Agyapong’s camp would already be confident of victory, describing the outcome as spiritually settled.

“There is nothing that can let me say I did not see it. I have seen it several times. I talk in definite terms because of what God has revealed to me. I know what I have seen,” Prophet El-Bernard stated.

The NPP’s January 31 presidential primary is expected to be fiercely contested. The five aspirants—former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, Abetifi MP Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Bosomtwe MP Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kennedy Agyapong—remain optimistic about their chances.

A total of 211,849 delegates are expected to vote at 333 polling centres across 276 constituencies nationwide, with polls opening at 7:00am and closing at 2:00pm.

Kennedy Agyapong, known for his outspoken style and strong grassroots support, remains one of the most talked-about candidates. Supporters believe his boldness and national visibility give him an edge, while critics argue that party leadership requires a more conciliatory approach.

Meanwhile, the final predictive model released by Global Info Analytics on Friday, January 23, 2026, indicated that Dr. Bawumia remains the frontrunner, with the enduring “Bawumia Factor” outweighing Kennedy Agyapong’s strong grassroots momentum.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Prophet Eshun said he first prophesied about Kennedy Agyapong in 2015, predicting the NPP’s victories in the 2016 and 2020 general elections, as well as the party’s defeat in 2024.

He added that he also foretold Kennedy Agyapong would contest Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the party’s flagbearership ahead of the 2024 elections, though he would not win at that time.

Prophet Eshun noted that the prophecy was publicly reiterated on September 18, 2021, and that video evidence exists to support his claims.

He further revealed that he authored a book on Kennedy Agyapong in March 2025, released in May, with one chapter describing the Assin Central MP as “the shock to the system and the flagbearer the NPP never expected.”

“I am putting my ministry, my calling, and my 18 years of pastoring on the line. There is nothing like ‘if’ when God speaks. I am definite that Kennedy Agyapong has won,” he stated.

The prophet insisted that Kennedy Agyapong will emerge victorious in the NPP primaries and go on to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.

Addressing NPP delegates in the Assin North Constituency of the Central Region, Mr Agyapong alleged that Abetifi MP and fellow aspirant Dr Bryan Acheampong mistakenly signed against his name because the document was not carefully read.

“They didn’t read the document. In my case, Hon Dr Bryan Acheampong signed at my place because he didn’t read. Me, am I a PhD holder? Three PhD holders. That’s how they sell Ghana by signing papers without reading,” he said.

His remarks come after public debate over his conduct at the peace pact signing ceremony, where he openly questioned parts of the agreement before appending his signature.

The pact, which all five aspirants eventually signed, binds contestants to party unity, respect for the electoral process and outcomes, and restraint by their supporters to maintain peace before, during and after the primaries.

He questioned how aspirants with doctoral degrees could, in his view, overlook such a basic detail before signing.

“As a native of Assin Dompim, my degree is a qualification by experience. So immediately they gave me the document, I started reading,” he stated.

Mr Agyapong explained that his main concern was a clause which, he said, compelled candidates to accept the election outcome even if they believed the process had been flawed.

“When I got to point two on the document, it instructed us to sign and agree that, however the election goes, whether you’ve been cheated or not, you should accept it. That’s where I questioned the document because of precedence,” he said.

He pointed to what he described as irregularities in the 2023 NPP primaries to justify his stance.

“The last time someone was given 100 per cent, and in that area I got 92. In Nchumuru, I got 104, but I was given 14. In Bunkpurugu, I was given zero, although two people testified that they voted for me,” he said.

“All these happened in the past, and then today you put a document before me that I should sign. I said I won’t sign. If you don’t correct some things that went wrong, I won’t sign.”

He added that experience had taught him not to sign documents blindly.

“The so-called knowledgeable men signed. That’s how they go to the World Bank to drink tea and sign their death warrant. I am speaking to you from experience,” he added.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Osei Owusu explained that all presidential aspirants were given copies of the peace pact several days ahead of the signing to review and raise any concerns.

He noted that Kennedy Agyapong specifically drew attention to Clause Two of the agreement, which requires aspirants to accept the outcome of the election once results are declared.

According to him, Mr Agyapong cited a previous experience in which he claimed a constituency voted but returned zero votes for him, raising concerns about possible rigging.

However, Mr Osei Owusu said the Elections Committee, in consultation with the Electoral Commission, assured the aspirant that any proven irregularities or acts of rigging would lead to the cancellation of the election.

He stressed that the concerns were adequately addressed and that the process met expectations, with all five aspirants eventually signing the pact.

“Ken wanted assurance that there would be no rigging in the election due to previous incidents. They received copies of the agreement days in advance, allowing them to raise any concerns before the signing day. Overall, our expectations were met, and they signed one document with five signatures,” he added.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu attributed Mr Agyapong’s showing in 2023 to widespread public discontent at the time, as well as the withdrawal of Alan Kyerematen from the race.

He dismissed claims that there was organised support within Parliament for any particular candidate during the contest.

“I’m not aware of any group in Parliament during my time as Majority Leader. No one spoke to me about asking MPs to support a specific candidate,” he said.

“If people have trust in you, it doesn’t matter who publicly declares their support; you will win. I was surprised by Ken’s 37 per cent. I believe he benefited from the discontent within the system and from Alan pulling out of the race. It’s possible that things may not be the same this time, even among those who have openly declared their support,” he added.

According to him, electoral success depends on trust, preparation and a compelling message, rather than noise or public endorsements.

He noted that circumstances have since changed, making it possible that Mr Agyapong may not achieve the same percentage he recorded in 2023.

Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu also expressed confidence in former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, saying his message resonates strongly with party members.

“Sometimes, the loudest team does not win; rather, it’s the one that is well prepared. The message that Bawumia carries resonates with the people,” he said.

He predicted that Dr Bawumia could secure a significantly higher share of the votes this time, projecting close to 70 per cent, depending on turnout and performance in the Ashanti Region.

“I believe the elections will go well for him, and he will receive a better percentage than he did in 2023. His performance will largely depend on what happens in the Ashanti Region, but I’m anticipating around 70 per cent support for Bawumia,” he added.

Mr Agyapong, a former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and a contender in the NPP’s upcoming presidential primaries, recently accused Dr Bawumia of lying about the party’s 1992 presidential candidate, Professor Albert Adu Boahen.

According to Mr Agyapong, Dr Bawumia had claimed that Professor Adu Boahen did not contest the 1996 presidential election due to health reasons—an assertion he described as misleading.

In a video circulating widely on social media, Mr Agyapong urged delegates to reject Dr Bawumia’s candidacy, arguing that the former Vice President was unfit to lead both the NPP and the country.

However, reacting to the claims in an interview on Adom TV with host Akwasi Nsia, Nana Akomea dismissed the allegations as completely unfounded and challenged Mr Agyapong to substantiate his accusations.

“Dr Bawumia has never made the statements that have been attributed to him. These accusations are baseless, uninformed and unwarranted,” Nana Akomea stated.

He stressed that the claims circulating in the public space were false and deliberately designed to damage Dr Bawumia’s credibility ahead of the party’s internal contest.

“If Kennedy Agyapong has any evidence to support what he is saying, he should present it. Otherwise, he must retract his statements and apologise,” he added.

Nana Akomea further emphasised that Dr Bawumia expects a clear retraction and apology, noting that political competition within the party must be conducted with integrity and respect.

“Political contestation should be guided by truth and civility, not personal attacks and misinformation,” he said.

The exchange adds to rising tensions within the NPP as aspirants intensify their campaigns ahead of the party’s presidential primaries.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Ayeh explained that the former Assin Central lawmaker’s frustrations frequently arise when advocating for party members’ rights, demanding accountability, or calling out actions that undermine the party’s integrity.

“It is not about his own interest, but about seeking what is right for the party and its members,” he noted.

The senior member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team drew parallels from biblical accounts, citing how Jesus cleared the temple when it had been turned into a marketplace.

He also referenced the story of the Tower of Babel, where God intervened to redirect human actions that strayed from His purpose.

“Sometimes, ensuring that things are done correctly requires firmness,” Ayeh said, urging the public to distinguish between personal temper and principled insistence on justice and proper conduct.

In a statement released on January 20, the campaign expressed concern over a circulating video in which Mr. Agyapong allegedly accused Dr. Bawumia of commenting on the health of the late Prof. Albert Adu Boahen and claiming he once decided not to contest the NPP’s 1996 presidential primaries.

The Bawumia campaign dismissed the accusations, insisting that no such remarks were ever made by the former Vice President.

“For absolute clarity, Dr. Bawumia has never made the statements that have been attributed to him,” the statement stressed, challenging Mr. Agyapong to “produce the video or audio evidence without further delay if he stands by this baseless attack.”

The campaign also criticised Mr. Agyapong for publicly describing Dr. Bawumia as dishonest and unsuitable for leadership, warning that such rhetoric threatens unity within the party.

“In our political discourse, accuracy matters. Words also matter. Wrongful attributions have the potential to unnecessarily mislead the public and inflame tensions within our Party,” the statement said.

Urging calm and responsibility, the campaign called on Mr. Agyapong to withdraw the comments and offer an apology, noting that Dr. Bawumia prioritises issue-based politics over personal attacks.

“Dr. Bawumia believes that as leaders, we must always state our views devoid of tantrums and personal insults while maintaining truthfulness, decorum, and restraint at all times,” the statement, signed by Nana Akomeah, Chairman of Campaign Communications, added.

The campaign concluded by affirming its focus on promoting unity and a respectful contest as the NPP prepares to select its flagbearer.

Read the full statement below:

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme, Mr. Boafo dismissed claims that Kennedy Agyapong lacks the temperament to lead the country, describing such assertions as unfair and misplaced.

According to him, leadership should not be judged solely on calmness or personal disposition, but rather on the ability to achieve tangible results.

“Saying that he doesn’t have the right temperament is out of line. We all know he has made some mistakes in the past. People will always have opinions, but sometimes the end justifies the means. While it would be ideal to have a perfect candidate, we should focus on getting the job done. Sometimes, we need a good person rather than just a nice person, and that’s what leadership is about. We must weigh our options carefully,” he said.

Mr. Boafo explained that his support for Kennedy Agyapong is grounded in principle, humility, and the capacity to drive national development.

He added that power has a way of humbling leaders and expressed confidence that Kennedy Agyapong has matured over time.

Urging Ghanaians to look beyond personality traits when choosing leaders, Mr. Boafo emphasised the need for a candidate who can deliver development and create more employment opportunities.

“I support Ken because he is the one who can bring development and more jobs to this country. The first quality I look for in leadership is humility. He has made efforts to tone down his past behaviour, but as Ghanaians, we need to think critically: are we looking for a calm leader, or someone who can bring about real change? Power has a way of humbling individuals. Therefore, I endorse Kennedy Agyapong on principle,” he added.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Opare Ansah said the idea of signing a peace pact on Thursday makes little sense if party leaders allow personal attacks to go unchecked.

“I have been listening keenly and I heard they are going to sign a peace pact on Thursday. I will go there. If they cannot call Kennedy Agyapong to order, they should forget about a peace pact,” he stated.

He stressed that Dr. Bawumia should not be dragged into an exercise that lacks credibility and enforcement.

“I will tell my candidate Dr. Bawumia not to go. You stood up and insulted someone. This cannot be called misrepresentation of fact because Bawumia never said any of the things he attributed to him,” he added.

Mr. Opare Ansah was reacting to recent attacks by Mr. Agyapong, who called Dr. Bawumia a liar over comments that were actually made by Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Speaking to party delegates in the Ashanti Region, Chairman Wontumi said the NPP has generally retained its first-time presidential candidates, with the exception of Professor Albert Adu Boahen. He explained that Prof. Adu Boahen was not retained for the 1996 election after contesting in 1992 due to health challenges, a position documented in a book by Apenten Appiah-Menka, a close associate of the late professor.

Despite this clarification, Kennedy Agyapong publicly attributed the statement to Dr. Bawumia and criticised him sharply.

However, the former Suhum MP maintained that senior party figures must verify claims before acting on them.

“As elders, we must cross-check everything we are told or hear. I will talk to my candidate to focus on his campaign,” he noted.

He also questioned how the party intends to enforce the peace pact if aspirants continue to disregard party values.

“How will the party enforce the peace pact? We should read the standards of the party and see if this conduct is not unbecoming of a member,” he added.

Mr. Opare Ansah argued that Dr. Bawumia has maintained a respectful campaign and has not attacked any of his competitors.

“What has Bawumia done to him? It is hatred for nothing. Have you heard Bawumia say anything against any aspirant in this manner?” he asked.

He concluded that unity cannot be achieved through ceremonies alone but must be backed by discipline, fairness, and accountability within the party’s flagbearer race.

Video footage from the event, however, shows that the remark which triggered Mr Agyapong’s reaction actually came from the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi.

Speaking to party delegates in the Ashanti Region, Chairman Wontumi said the NPP has generally retained its first-time presidential candidates, with the exception of Professor Albert Adu Boahen.

He explained that Prof. Adu Boahen was not retained for the 1996 election after contesting in 1992 due to health challenges, a position documented in a book by Apenten Appiah-Menka, a close associate of the late professor.

Despite this clarification, Kennedy Agyapong publicly attributed the statement to Dr Bawumia and criticised him sharply.

“I have never seen a liar like our former flagbearer before. This man is a liar for saying that Adu Boahen did not contest because he was sick,” Agyapong said, mistakenly linking Chairman Wontumi’s comments to Dr Bawumia.

The outburst has sparked widespread debate online, with several social media users questioning why Mr Agyapong would direct such attacks at Dr Bawumia over a statement he did not make. Others described the comments as unnecessary and misleading.

The former Lands Minister argues that the former Assin Central MP best reflects the mood of the country as the party looks toward the 2028 general election.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express, the former Hohoe MP said his endorsement was grounded in long-standing personal experience with all the leading figures being discussed within the party.

“I have an opportunity to interact with all the other five candidates,” he said. “So I am in a position to tell you that I have dealt with all these people.”

Mr Amewu traced his interactions with the various figures to his time as Mayor of Hohoe in 2005 and 2006, as well as his years in Cabinet and Parliament.

He said he had “a very good relationship with Kwabena Agyapong,” describing him as “an excellent man of all qualities,” and noted his close working ties with former Education Minister Dr Yaw Adutwum, Bryan Acheampong and former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

“I dealt with him, and we sat in the cabinet together. I worked under his economic management team as a team player,” he said of Dr Bawumia.

Despite acknowledging the strengths of all the candidates, the former Railway Minister said the choice before the party could not be approached in the usual way.

“All five of those candidates are exceptionally good candidates,” he said. “But we need a medium through which our party will be united. The election that is coming up in 2028 is not a normal election.”

He said his conclusion was shaped by feedback from across society.

“I have listened to the ground. I have listened to the taxi drivers. I have listened to the market women. I’ve gone to the hospital. I listened to the nurses, the doctors and the general population,” he said.

According to him, the demand he encountered repeatedly pointed in one direction.

“And so this election, it’s not because Kennedy is an individual,” he said. “Kennedy is just a medium. The whole nation wants Kennedy.”

When host Evans Mensah challenged the claim that the “whole nation” wanted Kennedy Agyapong, Mr Amewu doubled down, pointing to what he described as the candidate’s electoral advantage.

“The competitive advantage Kennedy has for me, which makes me side with him in this particular election, is the call by the citizens that are going to vote,” he said.

He explained that elections are shaped by key swing factors, which he said account for between 65 and 70 per cent of electoral outcomes. These include both external factors, such as economic performance, and internal attributes of the candidate.

“The internal ones have to talk about the empathy of the individual, his leadership skills, his level of collaborations, his attentiveness, his vision,” he said.

After weighing these factors, Mr Amewu said Kennedy Agyapong stood out.

“When I have examined all these other five candidates, the best among them, the one that is most competitive in terms of this internal environment issue, is Kennedy Ohene Agyapong,” he said.

He added that his assessment was informed by direct personal engagement with the Assin Central MP.

“Most people may not have a direct relationship or have dealt with Kennedy directly. I have had this opportunity with my experience as a minister and MP,” he said.

While maintaining that the other contenders were strong, Mr Amewu said the 2028 election would test political weight and public backing in a way that favours Kennedy Agyapong.

“When it comes to the 2028 election, they may not be on the same level of platform with Kennedy in terms of the weight that people may have behind him,” he said.

“And so I think that Kennedy has this competitive advantage over the others,” he added. “This basically explains the rationale. I think Kennedy is the best.”

The comments come as the NPP begins early conversations about its future leadership following its loss of power, with several senior figures already being mentioned as possible flagbearer candidates for the 2028 polls.

Speaking at a meeting with delegates in Yamfo in the Ahafo Region, Kusi urged party delegates to elect Agyapong as the NPP flagbearer during the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.

In an interview with Adom News, he said that among the five candidates contesting, Agyapong stands out as the only one whose policies would resonate with Ghanaians across the political divide, as they focus on significantly improving livelihoods.

According to Kusi, Agyapong has clear strategies to tackle unemployment, particularly among the youth, by creating sustainable jobs and transforming Ghana’s natural resources into employment opportunities.

He further noted that Agyapong has personally created jobs for more than 3,000 people and continues to expand employment opportunities.

Kusi also claimed that electing Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as flagbearer would likely result in another defeat for the NPP in 2028, arguing that Bawumia lacks a compelling message to persuade Ghanaians to give the party another mandate.

He concluded by urging delegates to carefully consider their choice, stressing that Kennedy Agyapong is best positioned to unite the party and lead it back to power.

Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana, the former Deputy Finance Minister said the party’s performance in the last elections called for reflection and honest engagement with supporters at the grassroots.

“After the elections, we all saw the results and weren’t happy. I went down to my constituents because I believe that to win any elections, you need to listen to minds and ideas,” she said.

Feedback from her constituents, she explained, highlighted key shortcomings, particularly the party’s failure to consider public sentiment on governance and national issues.

“I asked where we went wrong and what we could do differently. They told me one major fault was not listening to their views on governance and national matters,” she said.

According to Hon. Osei-Asare, the call for Kennedy Agyapong’s leadership came directly from the grassroots.

“I didn’t embark on this journey alone. My constituency executives and I agreed, and they are asking for me to bring Hon. Kennedy Agyapong so we can ensure victory in this constituency,” she said.

She stressed that effective leadership must be built from the base and guided by the will of the people.

“Every win starts from the base. My people have given me the opportunity to serve them, so I must listen to them,” she added.

Beyond her constituency, she said nationwide sentiments favor a candidate who is direct, pragmatic, and firm on discipline within the party.

“Currently, the country wants someone who is pragmatic, says it as it is, and can restore discipline within our party. I believe the discipline level has declined,” she noted.

Hon. Osei-Asare described Kennedy Agyapong as a politician known for honesty and firmness.

“Everyone stands for something, but for him, he stands for honesty and discipline,” she said.

Touching on youth participation, she emphasized that honesty and discipline would help the NPP regain the confidence of young voters, who form a significant portion of the electorate.

“Young people are more interested in jobs and opportunities than party loyalty. Kennedy Agyapong’s business background positions him to address these concerns,” she said.

She further linked his vision to the NPP’s industrialization agenda.

“He knows the business landscape and, with the industrialization drive through policies like 1D1F, we can champion even more ideas,” she said.

Hon. Osei-Asare revealed that Kennedy Agyapong’s visit to her constituency left a strong impression on residents.

“He came to my constituency and opened their eyes to the possibilities one can achieve,” she said.

Concluding her remarks, she urged party delegates and the youth to rally behind him.

“Kennedy Agyapong stands tall. I urge the youth and delegates to give him the chance,” she said.

Speaking in an interview with Adom News, Mr. Mensah encouraged polling station delegates not to be intimidated or coerced into voting for any candidate, assuring them that no one can remove their names from the party’s album after the elections.

He advised delegates to remain firm in their convictions and vote according to their conscience, insisting that Kennedy Agyapong represents a better future for both the party and the country.

According to the Acting Regional Chairman, other aspirants failed to remember party supporters when in power, while Kennedy Agyapong has consistently shown concern for the welfare of party members and unemployed youth.

Mr. Mensah made the remarks during a tour of Awutu Senya East, Gomoa East, and Awutu Senya West constituencies alongside Mrs. Christiana Agyapong, wife of the presidential hopeful.

Mrs. Agyapong, for her part, told party supporters that her husband has a proven track record in job creation, stressing that he remains the only candidate capable of addressing the high unemployment rate, particularly in the Central Region.

• FACT CHECK: Kennedy Agyapong’s claim that Bawumia skipped Adenta NPP campaigns false

According to Agyapong, the NPP lost the Adenta seat because Bawumia reportedly refused to campaign for Akosua Manu, citing her opponent, Mohammed Ramadan of the NDC, as a relative by marriage. He also described Adenta as a “traditional NPP seat.”

However, both electoral records and visual evidence contradict these claims. Data from past elections show that Adenta has not been a stronghold for the NPP.

Since the constituency’s creation, the NDC has won four out of six parliamentary elections, while the NPP has secured victory twice. In the last five elections, the NPP won only in 2016, whereas the NDC took the seat in 2008, 2012, 2020, and 2024.

Video and pictorial records shared by Akosua Manu further show that Dr. Bawumia actively campaigned for NPP parliamentary candidates in Adenta.

On November 27, 2020, he appeared alongside Yaw Buaben Asamoah, the NPP candidate, urging voters to support both the party and President Akufo-Addo during events at Ashale Botwe Mosque. He also campaigned for Akosua Manu in September 2024, participating in multiple constituency events.

Given the constituency’s electoral history and the documented evidence of Dr. Bawumia’s active participation in NPP campaigns, Kennedy Agyapong’s claims are therefore FALSE.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Dr. Assibey-Yeboah emphasised that under Kennedy Agyapong’s leadership, any NPP member found guilty of misappropriating public funds would face the law without political protection.

“Even if you are NPP and involved in corruption, you will be prosecuted. You will not be defended because of party affiliation. Let people go through due process when they are wrong,” he said.

He described Kennedy Agyapong as a pragmatic and disciplined leader who does not tolerate misconduct.

According to Dr. Assibey-Yeboah, Kennedy Agyapong’s uncompromising position on corruption is restoring confidence among voters who want leaders willing to prioritise national interest over party loyalty.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Dr. Assibey-Yeboah compared Kennedy Agyapong to US President Donald Trump, noting that his bold and unconventional style has re-energised the party’s base.

According to him, the NPP enters the next elections as underdogs and therefore requires a candidate capable of mobilising grassroots supporters while appealing to floating voters.

“I have looked at the data and interacted with people. Kennedy Agyapong gives us a better shot at winning. People are willing to vote now because Ken is back,” he said.

Dr. Assibey-Yeboah emphasised that, while he respects supporters of other aspirants, Kennedy Agyapong’s ability to galvanise the party faithful makes him the NPP’s best option to return to power.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Dr. Assibey-Yeboah said his earlier support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during the NPP’s 2023 internal contest was aimed at addressing concerns about the party’s identity.

According to him, there was a perception that the New Patriotic Party was dominated by one ethnic group, and supporting Dr. Bawumia was necessary to dispel claims that the party was an “Akan-only” political organisation.

He explained that backing Dr. Bawumia helped the party respond to those questions, a strategy that contributed to Dr. Bawumia securing 61 percent of the votes in the party’s flagbearer race.

Dr. Assibey-Yeboah added that although Kennedy Agyapong had approached him for support at the time, he declined, believing the party first needed to address its internal identity concerns.

He stressed that his current support for Kennedy Agyapong is based on what he believes is in the party’s best interest moving forward.

“In truth, if we went back to 2023, I would still support Bawumia. As the NPP, we had questions to answer. We were labelled as an Akan party, and there was doubt about whether we would support him fully, so I felt it was important for us to rally together.

“This informed my decision at the time, and we achieved significant support, with him receiving 61% of the vote. When Ken approached me for support, I decided not to do so because we needed to address the concerns facing our party. Now, no one can label the NPP as solely an Akan party,” he stated.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Dr. Assibey-Yeboah said the NPP faces a challenging path back to power but has gained an advantage following President John Dramani Mahama’s decision not to contest the 2028 election.

According to him, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presenting a new candidate means the NPP must field a highly competitive and unconventional flagbearer capable of energising the party’s base and appealing to undecided voters.

“In the current political landscape, it is not the turn of the NPP. We are fortunate that Mahama is not contesting again, because if he were, we would likely lose the election. Ghanaians often give second chances, but with Mahama out of the equation, the NDC will present a new candidate. Therefore, the NPP needs a competitive candidate because many people may still want to vote for the NDC regardless,” he said.

Dr. Assibey-Yeboah explained that his decision to join Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign was based on the belief that the outspoken politician best represents the interests of the middle class and has shown firmness on issues such as job creation and the fight against illegal mining.

He added that while returning to power will not be easy for the NPP, Kennedy Agyapong’s discipline and leadership style give the party its best chance of closing the gap with the opposition and becoming competitive in the 2028 polls.

“Among all the aspirants, I believe Kennedy Agyapong gives the NPP the best chance of winning the general elections. He focuses on key issues such as the middle class, job creation, and addressing galamsey. Agyapong has demonstrated discipline and does not tolerate certain behaviours. He will energize our party base, ensuring that even if we do not win the elections outright, we can close the gap and become more competitive.

Returning to power will not be easy, so we need an unconventional candidate. I believe Agyapong presents us with the best opportunity to regain power,” he added.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Dr. Sarpong said leadership is shaped by experience and personal development rather than birth.

“Who was born as a president?” he asked, stressing that personal growth, education, and opportunity shape leaders.

Recalling his early years, he said that when he worked as a basket weaver growing up in Beposo, he never imagined rising to his current status, but education and determination transformed his life. He argued that the same principle applies to the presidency, adding that suggestions that Kennedy Agyapong is unfit for the role are unfounded.

He also noted that Ghana is even considering reducing the presidential age threshold to 30, underscoring his view that leadership potential is broad.

Dr. Sarpong said criticism against Mr. Agyapong often arises from how people feel treated rather than a full appreciation of the context in which he speaks.

He revealed that he has listened to several recordings of the presidential aspirant’s statements and believes many of them were made while defending the party. “Sometimes we jump into conclusions without listening to them completely,” he said.

Dr. Sarpong added that leadership involves managing people with firmness when necessary, noting that even when an employee faces dismissal or transfer, professional engagement can still take place.

“Even for me, when I want to fire someone from a job, I can have breakfast with them before that, or when it comes to transfer. Sometimes, I can engage someone to also talk to them. It is all about managing people,” he stated.

He also spoke about his theological background, disclosing that he is an alumnus of Trinity Theological Seminary. According to him, pastoral ministry carries responsibilities, and those who wear clerical attire are held to higher standards of conduct.

“For now, I can do whatever I want, but once I put on the clerical, things will take a different turn,” he said, adding that pastors should accept accountability when concerns are raised rather than interpret them as insults.

His comments come ahead of the NPP presidential primaries on Saturday, January 31, 2026, as campaign teams intensify advocacy for their preferred candidates.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Opare-Ansah noted that the prophet had previously made a prediction about an SRC election that did not materialize, raising doubts about why his latest prophecy—that Kennedy Agyapong will win the upcoming NPP primary—should be taken seriously.

“He made a prediction about an SRC election and it didn’t work. The election is just 24 days away, so the fake predictions will come to bare,” he stated.

Opare-Ansah further suggested that some prophecies appear to serve more as campaign tools than genuine divine revelations.

“What amazes me about some of these prophecies is that at times they are doing campaign for the aspirants to make sure their prophecy comes to pass,” he added.

He also pointed to scientific analysis and available data, arguing that they indicate a clear victory for Dr. Bawumia in the primary.

“As a scientist, I believe in data science, which clearly points that Bawumia is winning the election,” he said.
