Kennedy Agyapong for president 2028 poster surfaces

Kennedy Agyapong's potential presidential bid in 2028 has gained attention after a poster of him surfaced on social media. This development comes after the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) loss in the 2024 elections, where Agyapong lost the NPP primaries to Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia .

Agyapong secured 71,996 votes, representing 35.52% of the total valid votes, while Dr. Bawumia won with 118,210 votes, representing 61.47% of the total votes cast . After the primaries, Agyapong expressed his grievances, feeling offended by some individuals within the NPP.

Despite his loss, Agyapong's supporters believe he has what it takes to lead the NPP in the 2028 elections. However, concerns have been raised about his suitability for the presidency due to controversies surrounding his character .

To become the NPP's presidential candidate in 2028, Agyapong would need to win the party's primaries. This would require him to garner support from party members and delegates. Given his previous performance in the 2024 primaries, it's possible that Agyapong could make a strong bid for the presidency in 2028.

However, it's essential to consider the qualifications and characteristics required of a presidential candidate. Article 62 of Ghana's Constitution outlines the qualifications and disqualifications for a person seeking the presidency . While Agyapong meets the legal requirements, his moral character and integrity have been questioned .

Ultimately, the decision to support Agyapong's potential presidential bid in 2028 will depend on the NPP's evaluation of his candidacy and the party's goals. As the party prepares for the next election cycle, it will be essential to consider the qualifications, character, and vision of potential candidates.
