Ken Agyapong campaign distances itself from Alex Tetteh remarks
The campaign team of Ken Ohene Agyapong has publicly distanced itself from comments made by an individual identified as Alex Tetteh following the circulation of a viral video.
This comes after Alex Tetteh appeared in a video that went viral on social media in which he was seen cursing and making derogatory remarks against some members of the Bawumia campaign team.
The video sparked public reactions and raised concerns among party supporters and the general public.
In a statement released on December 18 2025, the campaign clarified that Alex Tetteh is not a member, representative or spokesperson of the Ken Agyapong campaign.
The campaign explained that the remarks and conduct captured in the video were personal and do not reflect the values, principles or official position of the campaign or its candidate.
It further stressed that while it appreciates the passion and enthusiasm of supporters, it does not support insults, threats or any behaviour that undermines decency and respectful political engagement.
They reminded their supporters to conduct themselves in line with party rules, the laws of Ghana and accepted ethical standards in society.
The statement was signed by Kwasi Kwarteng Esq, spokesperson for the Ken Ohene Agyapong campaign, and reaffirmed the campaign’s guiding principles of patriotism, honesty and discipline.

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.
