Former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong is facing intense backlash following reports of controversial remarks he allegedly made during a meeting with a group of lawyers in Kumasi.

At the gathering, Agyapong is said to have attributed the defeat of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 flagbearer, to his Muslim faith and minority tribal background.

His comments have sparked outrage among party members, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment. Some party loyalists have warned that such divisive rhetoric could damage the NPP as it works to rebuild ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Critics have also pointed out that Agyapong used similar tactics during the NPP’s 2023 flagbearer contest and have cautioned that they will not tolerate a repeat of such behavior.

“The party’s supreme interest must come before personal ambitions,” one concerned party member stated.

Agyapong has reportedly declared his intention to run again for the NPP’s flagbearer position, but his latest remarks have raised concerns about their impact on party unity. Many have urged all party members to prioritize cohesion over divisive politics as they prepare for future elections.
