MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong

NPP will lose 2020 elections – Kennedy Agyapong
New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament
(MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has
warned that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) risk
losing the 2020 elections.

The party, he said would lose the yet to be held
elections if it continues to neglect the grassroot
that worked tirelessly to secure win for the
party.

Some members belonging to the party’s grassroot
have been complaining of neglect by the party
which formed government four months ago.

The complaints have led to agitations by some
angry supporters with the latest being the refusal
of the Ashanti Regional branch of the party’s
communications wing to represent the party at
radio stations in the region.

Some members of the party’s Delta Force also
stormed the Regional Coordinating Council and
sacked the regional security coordinator out of
his office.

Thirteen members of the vigilante group have been
arrested and their dockets forwarded to the
Attorney General’s office for advice.

These occurrences within the rank and file of the
party, Ken Agyapong speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam
on Thursday, 30th March, 2017 said are enough
reasons to cause the grassroot to be reluctant in
fighting to retain the party in power in the next
elections.

To add insult to the injury of the party’s
footsoldiers, Ken Agyapong told host Omanhene
Kwabena Asante that some of them who sought to
assume control of certain things in their
neighbourhood which hitherto were controlled by
known NDC guys have also been betrayed by the
National Security.

Example of that, he said is ‘a known NPP guy in
Agbogbloshie who was beaten to pulp by some
soldiers for daring to sack some NDC guys
occupying some portions of land.’

The guy has been beaten to pulp, he is now deaf,
he said, adding that persons who are in suit and
tie seeking to be appointed Ministers and
contributed minimally to secure the victory of the
party in the 2016 elections are the persons whose
actions are causing disaffection among the
grassroot of the party.

“These and other happenings which the grassroot
of the party are unhappy about if allowed to
continue even for one year would herald the
party’s exodus back into opposition in the 2020
elections,” he warned.

Ken further charged the hierarchy of the party to
stay put to the main reason that Ghanaians voted
for the party which is ‘to root out corruption
in the system as well as jail all persons who
engaged in corrupt activities in the Mahama
administration.’
