The spokesperson for Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, Kwasi Kwarteng, has reiterated that the former Assin Central MP is the best candidate to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 general elections.
According to him, Kennedy Agyapong stands out as the most marketable and winnable among all potential contenders in the party’s flagbearer race.
Speaking on Accra-based Channel One TV on Wednesday, June 18, Mr. Kwarteng said the team is committed to an intensified grassroots campaign to rally support for Mr. Agyapong.
“He’s speaking to the delegates, making sure they believe in our message. We have a very strong message, and we are of the view that Kennedy Agyapong is winnable. He’s marketable,” he stated.
“He’s someone who, within the short period ahead of 2028, can bring the party back to power. We will engage the party people and communicate with them, and we are confident they will support us,” he added.
The NPP has scheduled its presidential primaries for January 31, 2026, a decision that has attracted some criticism.
But Mr. Kwarteng said their camp has no issues with the date, emphasising that the National Council has the mandate to make such decisions.
“We respect the decision of the National Council. We do not hold any strong reservations—except to say that if you look at reactions on social media and among the public, there are some concerns. But as I indicated, the job is on the ground, so we will go there, engage the people, and sell our message,” he said.
