NPP presidential race: Ken Agyapong, Kwabena Agyepong and Boakye Agyarko vetted

-




 

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has vetted three more flagbearer aspirants seeking to lead the party in the 2024 general election.

The three aspirants, Kennedy Agyapong, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, and Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko, were grilled by the party's vetting committee for hours on Tuesday, July 4.

 The vetting of the three brings the total number of flagbearer aspirants who have gone through the process to six.

Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, Mahamudu Bawumia, and Kwadwo Poku have already been vetted. Kofi Konadu Apraku, Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Joe Ghartey, and Francis Addai-Nimoh are expected to be vetted on Wednesday, July 5 and Thursday, July 6, respectively.

 After his vetting, Kwabena Agyepong called on party delegates to vote for a candidate with values, principles, dedication, and who had sacrificed for the party.

“Our delegates know that they have their birthright; they are voting for generations unborn so, it is time for them to vote for values, principles, dedication and sacrifice. 

“These are new tenets that should be the backbone and foundation of politics in Ghana, not monetisation,” he said. 

Kwabena Agyepong expressed confidence that he would pass the vetting process and be elected as the flagbearer of the NPP. He said that his message of "ushering in a new dawn, direction, and dimension" had resonated with party members and Ghanaians.

“I have confidence that they will choose someone who has shown a life of dedicated service and sacrifice to this political tradition, which I have seen, it’s been manifested to each and everyone the role I have played from 1992 during the Adu Boahen campaign as the face and voice of the NPP,” he stressed. 

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is expected to hold a special delegates conference with 900 delegates to reduce the number of candidates for its presidential flagbearership to five. This will be done ahead of the party's National Congress on November 4, provided that the vetting committee approves more than five of the ten candidates who have expressed interest in the position.
