A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, Hamza Suhuyini, has stated that former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, lacks the temperament to be the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He argued that the NPP flagbearer hopeful has consistently shown a pattern of behaviour that undermines democratic discourse, incites division, and erodes the values of civility and tolerance that Ghana’s political system is built on.
According to him, Kennedy Agyapong does not inspire confidence in his ability to unite the country, manage dissent, or conduct himself with the decorum expected of a President.
“We cannot afford to let someone like Kennedy Agyapong get close to the presidency. It’s too risky for the NPP, for the NDC, and for the entire country.
“This is a man who, on live TV, called for violence. He thrives on chaos. Even within the NPP, he injects toxic energy. We saw his reckless behavior when President Mills was in power. He doesn’t belong anywhere near the Flagstaff House,” he remarked.
Suhuyini stressed that Ghana’s democracy cannot be handed over to “a rogue element” like Agyapong.
“As Ghanaians, we must draw the line. Characters like him must be kept far away from leadership. The NDC will not be part of any process that risks Ghana’s peace and stability,” he added.
In his view, the former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia remains the NPP’s best candidate for now, despite internal opposition.
“I think that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia still stands tall,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the party’s National Executive Committee and National Council made the decision to hold the presidential primary on Saturday, January 31, 2026, after a crucial meeting on June 17, 2025.
Nominations for the primary are expected to open from December 2 to 6, 2025.
