Bryan Acheampong and Kennedy Agyepong have successfully filed their candidacy paperwork, thereby formally entering the NPP flagbearer election.
The filings were made at the NPP headquarters in Accra yesterday, Wednesday.
The former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong made a jab at Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia after completing his form, saying, “Some people have ideas. But I have bold ideas and creativity.”
“I have done it before and will continue to do it. So if I tell you I’m going to create jobs for you, believe in me. Let’s ask some of the candidates what they have done,” he said.
He claimed that his track record as a businessman made him the most qualified individual to address unemployment and enhance living standards.
“We are no more going to listen to rhetoric. We want somebody who can create businesses for the youth of this country. I always say that any human being without a job has no life. Do you want life? Then vote for Kennedy Agyapong,” he said.
Dr. Acheampong, for his part, urged party members to support his candidacy for NPP leadership.
In order to rebuild the party and fortify its base before the general election in 2028, Dr. Acheampong promised to give unified and forceful leadership.
Dr. Acheampong reminded delegates that his vision was based on service, discipline, and conviction, and that the party’s unity and Ghana’s long-term future were more important than personalities in the impending leadership race.
“I come to unite. I come to build. I come to lead with conviction,” he stated.
Kwabena Agyepong, the former general secretary of the NPP, was the first candidate to formally submit his nomination papers on Tuesday.
