The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Assin Central in the Central region, Kennedy Agyapong, on Tuesday joined Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on his campaign tour of Suame.
The move by Mr. Kennedy Agyapong to join the NPP flagbearer enlivened the political mood in the Ashanti Region.
According to an official statement, the “charismatic MP made a grand entrance in Suame, a key industrial and commercial hub in Kumasi, thus, significantly boosting the morale of the party’s supporters.”
“The electrifying presence of Mr Agyapong is positive for the party’s quest to win the December 7 polls, as he addressed the enthusiastic crowd gathered in Suame,” it said.
The NPP flagbearer warmly welcomed Mr Agyapong to the campaign tour, emphasising the importance of unity within the party to achieve the common goal of winning the 2024 election.
Vice President Bawumia highlighted his plans to continue driving economic growth, enhance technological infrastructure, and create job opportunities in the Ashanti Region and across the country.
“As a testament to their camaraderie and shared vision, Dr Bawumia extended an invitation to Mr Agyapong to visit Suame Magazine, the largest industrial area in Kumasi, known for its vibrant auto repairs and engineering businesses,”the release said.
The Suame Magazine symbolises the industrious spirit of the Ashanti people.
The visit aimed to underscore the commitment of the party to support local industries and small businesses, the release said.
“The appearance of both Dr Bawumia and Mr Agyapong in Suame has undoubtedly galvanised support among the party’s supporters and sympathisers, setting a positive tone for the ongoing campaign,” it said.
“The duo coming together to campaign after they competed for the party’s flagbearership slot has exemplified the collaborative spirit within the Elephant family and their collective ambition to drive Ghana towards a brighter future,”it concluded.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
