NPP Flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong
Outspoken politician and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has assured Ghanaians that he will no longer allow provocations to derail his focus.
He stated emphatically that his political maturity and leadership vision are now firmly rooted in calmness and strategic thinking.
Addressing a group of party members—reportedly delegates—in a video shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), the former Assin Central Member of Parliament said that while his political opponents often make it their mission to provoke him into anger, he is no longer falling for such tactics.
“They deliberately speak to provoke me to anger so that I will go ballistic, but that will not happen,” he asserted. “We now know how to cure their mischief. They don’t have anything to say to bring me down. All they ever say is that ‘as for Ken Agyapong, he easily gets angry,’ but I will not be provoked.”
Known for his fiery personality and blunt rhetoric, Agyapong acknowledged that he has previously been criticized for his temper, but insists those days are behind him.
“You will not hear me throwing tantrums. That will not happen. Even if someone speaks ill of me deliberately to provoke me, I will not respond—because I have turned a deaf ear.”
The maverick politician, who has built a successful business empire in media, real estate, and agriculture, redirected the focus of his comments toward national development and economic empowerment.
He emphasized that what the country needs now is not mere talk, but actionable ideas that will translate into jobs and economic stability.
“What we are looking for is someone who has ideas,” Agyapong said. “If I can create employment as a private individual, imagine what I can do as president.”
Agyapong’s remarks have sparked conversations among political watchers, many of whom view his recent posture as a strategic recalibration aimed at positioning himself for future national leadership.
