Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to put an end to internal divisions and concentrate on building unity to improve its chances of reclaiming power in the 2028 general elections.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at the forecourt of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra, Agyapong expressed disappointment over growing factionalism within the party, stressing that such internal conflicts undermine the NPP’s prospects.
“I am disappointed. I watched two videos one by Alex Tetteh and another by a former Fomena Chairman. When situations like this arise, we should be united. That is not the time for individuals to bring up personal grievances or settle scores,” Agyapong stated.
He emphasized that unity is essential if the NPP intends to regain power. “If the NPP wants to win, it must do so through unity. This is not the time for vendettas. We need to stand together.”
Agyapong, who contested in the party’s recent presidential primaries, urged all factions within the NPP to prioritize peace and collective progress over internal politics.
“In the previous Parliament, anytime Ato Forson appeared in court, NDC MPs would wear red in solidarity. They would accompany him to court and still show up in Parliament. But the same cannot be said for the NPP,” he noted, drawing a contrast between the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and his own party.
“All NPP factions must unite. We need solidarity and peace. The internal wrangling is excessive. If we fail to learn from the NDC, we risk remaining in opposition for years to come,” he cautioned.
Agyapong’s remarks follow a viral video in which Alex Kwaku Tetteh a member of his campaign team admitted to providing crucial information that led to the arrest of NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
The revelation has sparked internal controversy and intensified concerns about disunity within the party.
Agyapong’s appeal is seen as a call to refocus party efforts on cohesion and strategic planning, rather than internal power struggles, as the NPP looks ahead to the next election cycle.
