Kwame Owusu, national campaign coordinator of the Kennedy Agyapong’s flagbearership bid has revealed how an incident involving their polling agent in the North East Region was resolved.
According to him, when the said agent in the region (a woman) drew his attention to the challenges she was facing, he drew the attention of the Inspector-General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare who professionally ensured a solution.
In an interview with Oman FM, hours after Kennedy Agyapong’s ‘showdown outburst’ on Saturday (August 26) during the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Super Delegates Conference voting, he said the IGP got the local police to resolve the impasse which saw the Ken AGyapong team replace their agent at the center. “I interceded and I called quickly and I got the police and the IGP put people on line and we have our representative there who is making sure that things are ok…
“I called in the Inspector-General of Police, he has been so helpful, he got the commander there and we have been able to resolve the issue… Ganiyu our second agent is there and we spoke to him and he said he is okay,” he stressed. Ken Agyapong descended into a fit while speaking to Oman FM alleging that his polling agent had been chased from the Nalerigu regional polling station in the North East Region – believed to be a stronghold of Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
He threatened to give the president and Bawumia a ‘showdown’ and to ensure the party lands in opposition if that is what they want by mistreating aspirants in the flagbearership race.
Agyapong, who came a distant second in the super delegates vote is currently the subject of summons to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee over his comments.
