The campaign team of Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has responded to the departure of its former campaign manager, Ofosu Asamoah, who has chosen to follow a new political direction within the New Patriotic Party.
The team explained that although the move is unfortunate, it does not disrupt its work.
In a statement, the team noted that political shifts of this kind are common, even at the highest level of national politics.
It stressed that the KAA campaign is grounded in the commitment of a wide group of supporters and not the choices of a few individuals.
The team expressed appreciation for Ofosu Asamoah’s past contributions and wished him well.
The campaign assured supporters and delegates that its resolve remains firm.
It emphasised that its work is guided by a belief that the NPP must return to its core values of service, sacrifice and selflessness.
The team recalled that Ing Agyepong has faced political challenges for years but has stayed loyal to the party throughout.
The team acknowledged that it does not have the financial resources of other aspirants but noted that its strength lies in its message of hope, unity and a return to the party’s roots.
It stated that this message is gaining strong support among delegates across the country.
The statement reaffirmed the campaign’s commitment to fighting the growing monetisation of politics, which it believes contributed to the party’s recent electoral setback.
It said the team remains focused on engaging delegates and promoting its policy ideas ahead of the party’s primaries.
The KAA campaign encouraged its supporters to stay calm and committed as it works toward securing victory in the upcoming internal contest.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
