Kwasi Kwarteng speaks on reported resignation of Ken Agyapong from NPP
Kwasi Kwarteng, former spokesperson for the campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has dismissed reports that the politician has resigned from the party.
In a post addressing the reports, Kwarteng disclosed that Kennedy Agyapong was currently in China conducting business and had not submitted any resignation letter to the party.
“Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong is currently in China conducting business. He’s not submitted any letter of resignation from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to anyone. Please disregard any such report,” he wrote.
His comments come amid reports circulating about the former Assin Central Member of Parliament’s alleged departure from the NPP, sparking reactions among party supporters and social media users.
The reported development sparked mixed reactions among netizens, with some expressing sympathy for the Assin Central MP, while others have raised concerns about the implications for the NPP.
Some social media users suggested that Kennedy Agyapong should have waited for another opportunity to contest the party’s flagbearer position.
“Wow Ohene, we understand your pain, but at least you should have waited for one last attempt,” one netizen commented.
Others used the elephant, the NPP’s symbol, to describe what they believe could be the effect of his reported resignation on the party.
“One leg of the elephant is broken,” another social media user wrote.
Another commenter expressed concern about the party’s situation, saying, “What the elephant is being crippled. Oh no!”
Meanwhile, some netizens speculated about Kennedy Agyapong’s possible political future, suggesting that he could align with former NPP flagbearer hopeful Alan Kyerematen, popularly known as Alan Cash, who left the party to establish the Movement for Change.
“He might be teaming up with Alan Ewuradi,” another commenter suggested.
