NPP Primaries: Ken Agyapong campaigners in Cape Coast quit, declare support for Bawumia

NPP Flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, suffered a significant setback in the Central Region on Saturday, November 22, 2025, when a number of his key supporters announced their defection to former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the regional capital.

The group showed up at a Bawumia NPP Primaries campaign event at Cape Coast North and told the gathering that having been strong supporters and campaigners for Kennedy Agyapong, they had "now seen the light" and had switched their support to Dr Bawumia.

"We welcome you to Cape Coast Dr Those of us here are NPP members who are well known and hardworking Kennedy Agyapong supporter. But today, we have seen the light so we have decided to declare our support for you and vote for you to become our Flagbearer and lead us to victory," a member of the group said.

The group urged the gathering and members of the NPP in general to retain Bawumia as the NPP's Flagbearer for the 2028 presidential election, likening him to a good commodity that must be taken back to the market.

"The question we have been asking ourselves, which I want to put across to all is that if you present something good you believe in to the market and all the products are not sold, will you throw the unsold good commodity away or you'll present it to the market again, knowing very well the quality of the product you have?"

"Let us present our good product back to the market and victory will be ours. We are praying for God to grant you victory and we will keep working hard for you."

Also in the Central Region, 30 out of the regions 45 constituency youth organisers declared support for Dr Bawumia to be retained as the NPP's Presidential Candidate.
