Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, an aspiring presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has assured party delegates that he will win the 2024 election if elected as the party’s flagbearer.
He described himself as a confident, bold, and experienced candidate who could easily defeat Mr. John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“I assure delegates that I will defeat John Mahama hands down in the general election if elected to lead the NPP.”
The presidential candidate noted that regardless of his political affiliations, making Ghana great and strong, as the National Anthem underscored, was his vision and could be realized if delegates voted for him to lead.
Mr. Agyapong gave the assurance when he addressed delegates, party faithful supporters, and sympathizers at the Cape Coast chapel square, where they converged after one of his “showdown walks” through the principal streets in the Metropolis.
He noted that he was a truthful, unifying, patriotic, and disciplined man who would bring back all the grassroots together to rally behind the party for victory in 2024.
The Assin Central Member of Parliament urged the delegates not to be intimidated by anyone but to be bold and strong to resist any form of inducement that would influence their votes.
“Don’t be intimidated by anyone. You make the Jubilee House, so don’t allow anyone to influence your vote. Resist or give them a showdown,” he insisted.
Mr. Agyapong advised them to support him, as Ghanaians would not vote for the NPP if he did not win the upcoming Saturday, November 4, delegates’ conference.
The Presidential Candidate cautioned the Police Service and Electoral Commission to ensure free and fair elections or he would resist any attempts to interfere in the result.
On his visions, he pledged to transform the Central Region through its tourism potential by ensuring the effective management of the castle and forts, among others.
Mr. Agyapong said his administration would implement policies and interventions, particularly in the industrial and natural resources sectors, to develop the country.
He mentioned a lot of contributions he had made to the party from former President Kufuor’s era to date and assured that the well-being of the Ghanaian people remained his top priority.
The showdown walk attracted many people from all walks of life and from the political divide who believed the country needed him for development.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
