Kennedy Agyapong
In a candid and unflinching address, Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to openly acknowledge the economic challenges facing Ghanaians as part of its strategy for the 2024 General Elections.
Speaking at the launch of the NPP’s election campaign for the Ablekuma South Constituency, Agyapong highlighted the urgent need for the party to confront the current economic realities and present a unified front in their campaign efforts.
“The time has come for us to step forward with humility,” Agyapong stated. “We need to apologize to Ghanaians and openly admit the mistakes made during our tenure. Only then can we hope to persuade voters to support us in the upcoming elections.”
Agyapong’s remarks come amid mounting criticism of the NPP’s handling of the country’s economic issues. He emphasized that ignoring the hardships experienced by Ghanaians would be a critical misstep. “If we continue to disregard the struggles people are facing, they will not accept our message. We must first acknowledge the difficulties and then present our case for why the NPP deserves another chance,” he said.
In his call for introspection, Agyapong underscored the importance of presenting a united and self-aware party to the electorate. “We must show that we have learned from our past experiences and are committed to addressing the issues at hand. We must rally behind Dr Bawumia, our flagbearer, and support him in winning this election,” he added.
Agyapong’s candid advice reflects an urgent push for the NPP to recalibrate its campaign strategy in light of widespread dissatisfaction with the current economic conditions. His call for humility and accountability comes as the party gears up for a crucial electoral contest on December 7, with the hope of consolidating voter support through a more transparent and responsive approach.
The launch of the Ablekuma South campaign marks the beginning of a series of regional engagements by the NPP as it seeks to consolidate its position and address voter concerns ahead of the elections.
