Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has urged the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to acknowledge the current economic challenges in the country and render an apology to Ghanaians during its campaign ahead of the upcoming December 2024 General Elections.
Speaking at the launch of the NPP Ablekuma South Constituency election campaign, Kennedy Agyapong emphasised the need for unity to ensure the party’s victory in the December 7 polls. “We are all not going to sit back, we will all support Dr Bawumia [NPP flagbearer] to win,” Kennedy Agyapong advised.
Kennedy Agyapong, known for his candid and often controversial statements, has built a reputation as a no-nonsense politician who is not afraid to speak his mind, even if it means criticising his own party.
The ruling party, NPP, has faced increasing scrutiny and criticism over the country’s economic challenges. The party cites the global COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict as factors that have exacerbated economic difficulties, leading to inflation, unemployment, and general economic hardship for many Ghanaians. Despite these external factors, the NPP has been criticised for its handling of the economy, with some accusing the party of mismanagement.
As the 2024 General Elections approach, the NPP is gearing up for a crucial campaign. The party’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who currently serves as the Vice President, is expected to lead the charge. However, internal party unity and a clear, honest approach to addressing the nation’s issues are seen as vital for the party’s success in the December 2024 polls.
