New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has stated that he is ready to put up a fight against anyone who will seek to challenge his ambition with money.
Addressing party faithful in the Awutu Senya East Constituency as part of his campaign, the Assin Central Member of Parliament said he will not be cowed by any contender seeking to use money.
“Whoever thinks he is a man and would want to scare me with money when the time comes, I will show him that I am also a man and that I have richer. I will put on a show here in Awutu Senya East, I will display cash,” he stated to chants from elated NPP members.
As sighted in the video shared by Oman Channel, the flagbearer hopeful said while he is committed to a peaceful internal election in the NPP, adding that he will surmount any attempt to scare him or delegates into supporting another candidate.
“So let everyone have patience. We want peace in NPP so we can win the elections but the fact that we want peace does not mean anyone should try and scare us. Nobody can scare you. When it comes to the election vote for whomever you wish to vote for. You have your own mind,” he said.
The NPP has set November 4, 2023, to hold presidential primaries to elect a flagbearer.
The winner of the contest will lead the party as its flagbearer in the 2024 presidential elections.
Ahead of the elections, Kennedy Agyapong who is a known financier of the NPP has been entreating delegates of the party to give him their mandate as a reward for his commitment to the party and the welfare of its members.

I like this man because he says it as it is. However i wish that he keeps quiet about his wealth. Let people talk about how wealthy you are, don't say it yourself or else people see you as a braggart. Scarcely will you hear people like Asuma Banda, Osei Kwame despite, late Alhaji Adamu Iddrisu ( global haulage), O.A transport, VIP transport, Azumah Nelson, ABEDI PELE speaking openly about how wealthy they are but they also have money. It's people who say Alico Dangote is the richest man in Africa but scarcely will you hear Dangote granting interviews on how rich he is. You are a good man with good intentions for Ghana but you may keep others off if you talk too much about your wealth. The poor man on getting a political position wants to ensure that he never taste poverty again. The so called rich who should have been satisfied with what they already have and serve the masses in honestly are also doing all they can to ensure that even their grandchildren don't ever taste poverty using political positions as a springboard to achieve this. Now those of us in between don't know who to trust again. This is Ghana's main headache. Can you imagine a hunter who was lucky to kill a buffalo stretching his hand to another hunter who was less lucky by killing a rat and asking for a part of the rat when he has a whole buffalo with him. This is Ghana's bane.
Stop this arrogant attitude. You help someone, the whole world has to know. Are the only wealthy person who is helping people or the party you belong to? If you want to be considered serious as a presidential candidate, change your attitude. You may win the primaries because of the gullible delegates, but the fight is beyond that level. There are discerning Ghanaians, and they form the swing votes. Arrogance DONT work on them
Sir is that what it is all about? The one who can display cash. Where is humility and the mindset to serve than to rule. Even Donald Trump became America president and the country did not become better off. Rather more divided. Sir you may be good but tone down the rhetoric.
