Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant and ex-Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, has reportedly declared his intention to contest as an independent candidate, marking a dramatic shift in Ghana’s political landscape.
The outspoken businessman and politician is said to have officially distanced himself from the NPP, a party he has long been associated with and played a key role in over the years.
His decision is expected to reshape internal party dynamics and could have far-reaching implications ahead of the next general elections.
According to sources close to his camp, Agyapong will meet supporters and sympathisers on Saturday April 18, at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, where he is expected to formally address the public and outline his political roadmap.
The anticipated gathering is likely to draw significant attention from both supporters and political observers.
The announcement has already sparked widespread reactions across Ghana, with analysts predicting a potential shake-up in voter alignments, particularly among NPP loyalists.
Some party members are reportedly expressing concern over the possible division of votes, while others view the move as a test of Agyapong’s independent political strength.
While details of his campaign strategy remain unclear, Agyapong’s entry into the race as an independent candidate introduces a new dynamic to the electoral contest, potentially altering the balance of power between the major political parties.
More updates are expected following his address today.
