New Patriotic Party flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong had recourse to issue verbal threats to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during the party’s Special Delegates Congress held on Saturday, August 26, 2023. Kennedy Agyapong’s outburst captured whiles he was on a phone call was said to have been ignited by a situational report on the state of his agent representing him in North East Region during the vote.
The NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako alias Wontumi had later sought to suggest that Ken’s outburst was due to him being misinformed about the specific incident. However, the campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong on Monday, August 28, 2023, held a press conference where some of its agents shared their stories of threats, intimidation and assault suffered during the electoral process.
Hajia Humukin Saed, who represented the Assin North Member of Parliament in the North East Region on Monday told the media how she had to abandon her post in the early hours of the election as a result of threats to her life at the polling station. Having observed incidents of infractions and the presence of unaccredited individuals at the polling centre in contravention of the party’s approved modalities, the agent said she sought to draw the media’s attention as the police present had refused to pay heed to her concern.
