KAA campaign dismisses concerns after departure of former Campaign Manager
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.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
