Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the flagbearer candidate for the New Patriotic Party, has said that members of Ghana’s Armed Forces are fully behind his run for president.
The member of parliament for Assin Central says that people in the Ghana Armed Forces fully back his campaign for president because of his background and work to help the army.
Speaking to a group of NPP members in a campaign video posted by Oman Channel he said:
“Ghana is hard but soldiers are saying that Kennedy Agyapong, do not listen to anyone asking you to resign from the contest because you will win the 2024 election.’ Why are soldiers asking me not to resign? Because am the only man in the history of Ghana who has taken $6 million from his own pocket to build a cardio and dialysis centre at the 37 Military Hospital.”
“I am the only politician who has five fish ponds each spanning one kilometre at Atwima Kwanwoma in the Ashanti Region which I have gifted to the Ghana Armed Forces to be used in feeding soldiers. Because of that the soldiers ‘say we will reward you for the good you have done for us. If you don’t believe it, come to Burma Camp and conduct a survey, about 85% of soldiers will vote for you.”
Ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and a number of other prominent NPP members have stated their plans to run for the party’s flagbearership.
Former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are two of his candidates.
